The spike down at London open, for Dax, was a bear trap !
No not really, it often does this at the London open. The short term trend was up, and they take it down to a level of support so they can buy it, which today was the 76.4% fib level from the 7am UK time low. The 1m TF gave us a long black candle which closed well off its low, and the next candle was a positive hammer, which, was a clear signal to buy.

ps - I opened a thread awhile back entitled ' The fake, king of entry opportunities ' dealing with these sudden movements against the momentum such as we saw at the London open today, which one or two of you may like to look at when you've got a moment to spare. You'll find it if you go to my ' threads started ' link on my page.

GM - what I have seen so far......two hours before this chart opened the Dow put in a higher low holding at its S1 level, so, IMO, the bias was up.

1 Buy the Higher Low.

2 Sell the Lower High before XO

3 & 4 buy the HLs as price held ~ a level, looking for Friday's Low / close....

Now, Dow has also hit its Friday Close.....

Currently I am flat waiting to see what developes.....I have 8778 as the 50% retrace of the fall from Friday afternoon's ID LH at 8878, with the 61% at 8803....

Edit: Price held at the FC level with another HL, so buy again for the BRN / 61% area

{quote} I guess you are looking at this scenario - a bit LT for us intra-day guys, but I always look at my higher TF charts....IF this 4 hr W4 FAILS to get up into the DZ - 38% to 61% retrace it is very bearish E/Wise......TWT {image} {image}
and so it was, with W5 1.27 x W1.

A strong bounce so far this morning so looking for and A B C correction. Once "A" is in we can do a projection for "B" and so on.

I keep buying and banking......price now at DP....

Hi, I think I read you are not using MT4, but if you are: what kind of pivotpoint-indi do you use? The only ones I've got cannot be customized to use 'official' dax-trading hours, so I always get wrong pivots. Or maybe others in the thread have an answer? Thanks.
Fail better.

I use this one.....you need to set the "DestTimeZone".....for a chart based on Helsinki now 13:38 - set it to 0. For GMT - now 10:38 set it to 3 and so on....

Put it on, but it doesn't really react to diffierent DestTimeZone- setting. As pp it prints 8813, whereas the PP in the classical sense (from OHLC for Daxtimes 8-17.30 CET) would be 8842?
