Whipsaw trades for me today:
1st trade: possible end of retrace, continuing down. Got stopped out
2nd: break of previous high, went long, stopped out.
3rd time lucky, I guess. No follow-through on move down, go long. Out with +16 pips for all three trades.
Sometimes it comes easy, sometimes it doesn't.
BTW guys, all discussions regarding Ukraine aside, there's a website that issues live updates on the war in Ukraine --> http://liveuamap.com/
Be careful though, not all of the information is accurate.

If you don't risk, you don't ever have to lose.

FDAX: Discovered evening star on 15 min. and so I leave my short hedge open.
(Right now I have to trade by opening and closing my short hedge, since I still have an open long position at 9550)

hi Danku,

normally i post a chart with entry, sl and tp, sorry.

today i tried to sell the low.
after that, i tried to buy a breakout above pivotpoint (9449,9). let´s see if the second try is working out.

{quote} its my adaptation of Robert Miner's methodology as explained in his Dynamic Traders course - IMO THE most comprehensive work that I have ever seen.......check it out.... Edit: I closed out my last short ~ the .618 retrace of the range since Friday's low and I am finished for this morning - and probably the day given that there will be no input this afternoon from NY ......

Looking at my H1 chart, dax is consolidating and this may be a setup for another round of downward move, Time will tell

Since volume is very low its really hard to guess where it will go. The eWaves on your chart are almost flat and at 0 level now. Still waiting for a pattern or signal which has not formed yet.

Hi there,

When you are calculating the pivot points- Do you calculate these yourself? Or you a website??

Thanks
