We could see an absolute rocket actually at FOMC time on the Dow, as technically we are beautifully positioned on the Daily chart with the price having found support on the 100sma which is also right on the 76.4% retrace from the low on Dec 16th. Any dovishness from the Fed regarding interest rates and we could see the high 17000s. Definitely need to be sitting tight with the bit between our teeth at 7pm this evening!

{quote} Hello Delta Another great trade! May I ask what sort of system entry criteria you look at? It looked like it was the bottom of a huge sell off.....you had confidence of another 60 points lower. Great call, wondering if you could shed some light on your system?
hi Justinorwin,

while trading manually, i look at the 1m candlestick charts with bollinger bands, daily pivot points, sma 100, sma200, macd and linear regression.
in addition, i look for breakouts and gap-closes

i trade dax with 4 standard contracts (cfd, deutschland 30 kassa) and sl -10 tp +30, moving sl to be when position is at +10 points.
i trade dow with 6 standard contracts (cfd, wall street kassa) and sl -20 tp +60

It's a risky time to trade, but the benefits far outweigh the costs so always worth a stab.

Just wanted to add to my previous posts today that despite my short term bullishness, I am bearish longer term on both the Dax and Dow/S&P. We might well get a good rally off of the FOMC today, but we could get the opposite, as the Dow on both the Daily and Weekly threatens a fall towards 16,000. The Daily Dow chart, although support has been found for now, is showing MACD diversion and I have several key indicators pointing to a continued fall. The Dax will obviously follow suit. I know this is a bit out of step with the intra-day, but having a look at the bigger picture always helps. Again, this is just my take on it and we all have our methods. Anyone wants to disagree or concur with me I'b be delighted to see your view.

Yes, as expected, no big moves before the data and I'm finding it difficult to post and trade, so trading comes first!

While we are waiting, I do not try to predict where price will go, I just follow my signals, BUT I do like to have an idea of the potential targets once a move does happen......
