Trading is all about working with PROBABILITIES. A researched system with good Money Management, applied with DISCIPLINE and PATIENCE can bring in good profits. However, an unexpected BIG news shock will either increase these rewards or reduce them - unless your position was flat. When you drive through the countryside on a nice sunny day, what are the PROBABILITIES of the car coming in the opposite direction suddenly swerving accross the road and hitting you head on and killing you........of course it IS POSSIBLE......but probable??.......

This is why Trading is gambling exactly, its all about money management .I just GAMBLE that a bomb will not go off when Im long DAX.I can not control that hence its a gamble by defination.

OK - just like you gamble when you drive your car that the other driver coming towards you will not swerve accross the road and hit you.....

Oh yeah.. those patterns work amazing with 1H timeframe.. see it for yourself once you give it a try.. wow and you had 35 trades in 2 hours?

If Dax moves after New York open, it's most probably Dow and USA stocks.. this time maybe also USA 10-y Bond auctions..

Thanks Ata and D1.
