Nice run up from Friday's low stalling as expected on H1 100sma in the evening. I held until the shooting star candle at 5pm London time yesterday which for me, close beneath the H1 200ema was the perfect place to kill the trade. Now I'm in scalping mode as I cannot buy and hold this close to what should be major resistance for this move, and we are nowhere near a meaningful sell set up yet. For the time being, even with the resistance just above at around 9,211, the short term momentum is still up.

Sell off to resume later today…. imo. Run up was expected.. S&P can still have legs towards 1945, possibly 1963… but not really expecting a pass of 1945….. we all know it can happen though. Either way, once exhaustion sets in again… we're going back to 1900 and lower….

Sideways to lower till October..

@cat

also 9200 as BRN which was confirmed as support from the shooting star you just said!
Maybe there will be a restest of that resistance.
But I don't mind that much about, because Iam just scalping for 5-10 points per trade.

EDIT: but I really like to see a nice drop on LO

nothing like the London open for turning things around. I'm watching 126-116 area on the Dax for possible support.

good call!

btw does anyone have any experience with s&r indis on the DAX?
I already have a pretty good one in use though, but Iam a bit struggeling with one of the settings... daily pivots or fib pivots????
which one does the DAX respect more or less? any ideas or experience?

Nothing works in isolation - I use pivots, MAs, fibonaccii, trendlines, and MACD which is good for showing diversion. Apart from that you need the experience of finding out how any indicators work together to enable you to either stay out, get into, and get out of trades. Needless to say, there is no single indicator that the DAX, or any other market, adheres to.

You may want to consider the SupDem indi. I use it with minimal other indicators. Best to trade after watching formation of the SupDem areas form over a period to familiarise yourself and then incorporate it into your strategy. Attached is a screenshot of this mornings action on the 5 min chart.CheersAlan

a suggestion - if you're scalping, which Ipresume you are with such a tight SL, then you're getting in too late. Your previous trade was too close to the 1m 200ema, which with momentum still down, was always going to be a barrier. The first push up reached 9,150, then it fell back to the 76.4% on a strong candle that finished just off its low. The next candle was a Doji, and I bought on its close, exiting on the 1m 200ema for 21 pips. Your next trade, for me, is also too late with only a 10 pip SL. Where does the price fall to off of the 1m 200ema? it goes beyond the 76.4% fib, but fails. Yuo then have 6 white candles to confirm a buy trade on the 1m chart. I'm omitting all of my other indicators which confirm the signal, but these are the basics for me. If you are scalping, your entries have to be very accurate, especially when you are using such a small SL, otherwise you'll have loads of BE's, or even losses. Just my opinion of course. Let's see what ZEW brings.

thanks. yes, iīm scalping. no event-risk, no overnight-risk, never.
today i try to buy a breakout above PP. also i watch the daily low at 9131,3 in order to go short @9130.

both trades you mentioned above had a risk-reward ratio of 3. if i have a 50/50 chance with each trade, the expectation is +200 points within 100 trades.
my trading results over the last years had a higher probability than 50/50. itīs good enough for me and my family - so i wonīt change. never touch a running system. good luck to you.
