Well each to their own around risk appetite. Always found I couldn't sleep when I had a trade open over night (kept checking charts)

Well each to their own around risk appetite. Always found I couldn't sleep when I had a trade open over night (kept checking charts)

The real beauty of trading is taking a position and then enjoy whatever you want When the risk is calculated and of non significant size and you feel confident about your position as you should when taking one there is no reason to stare at the charts, if you aint looking for new opportunities in another pair/instrument.

Staring at the charts will only generate nerves while in a position and will really not change anything

But when I cant find any good opportunities, i spend to much time staring at it myself, until i finally call it a day


EDIT: also DAX tends to be extremely quite during tokyo session

Consider we have been consolidating down since April and are currently trading in the top range of this consolidation area we might see a steeper fall. Intraday I might agree some short terms longs are in sight.

Eur usd looking to start a slight move up, so can expect Dax to start dropping - IMHO. Will look for sell opps (11740 - 11750 looks like a good spot)

Morning all! I think we may pop up around the 500 level down to S1 @ 489, so shorts beware. Apart from that, we could really tank today down towards the 11,400 area. Momentum still very much down but we've reached the level on the Daily where I'd expect a turn around if we're to see 12,000 this week ( which is Daily 100sma potential support, but it's looking less likely now I have to say)

Morning all, I think we may end up somewhere between 11,300 and 11,400 before a swing to the upside again; this will take us to the top of the previous down trend channel and somewhere close to 20sma on the Daily chart. 11,367 is the 38.2% Fib from the Swing Low of 8 July 2015 to Swing High of 20 July 2015; I dare say some buying would be activated around that level. I have reservations that 11,800 may be the limit to the upside unless the EUR devalues further in the near term...

I wouldn't disagree with that at all. H2 is pretty instructive showing S2 and the 200ema together @ 408, and S3 and the 200sma also together @ 272 - either of these levels is possible. However, watch out for the H2 100sma which is just curling round above the price right now @ 576. The price will often retrace to a significant MA when it does this before falling again. Good luck!

The reason I usually don't is that other people's charts bear so little resemblance to my own as to be completely irrelevant, so I assume it works both ways.
