{quote} Hi Islander, I've been following D1 and your posts closely for 2-3 weeks now and I have to say I am speechless with your trades (both of you). I was wondering if you have posted either in this thread or somewhere else how you go about your entries. From your posts and charts I gather you watch daily pivots, fib, round number, special candles (pin bars etc.). I am trying to put it all together and would welcome any pointer/advice you might have. Thanks

Hi - as I get a number of similar requests via PMs, I will give a more comprehensive answer that I can copy for future reference.

I have over the last twenty five years spent thousands on software, books and attending seminars. I
have also met and talked with many of the well known names in trading.

I have more than 15,000 hours of screen time and research on short time frame charts since I joined FF back in 2007.

Thus I have paid my dues both in time and money and now am able to reap some rewards.

I have posted both in this thread and my own thread with Medici plenty of information of what I have been recently - the last couple of years - doing both in testing, researching and trading, so any interested trader can - with some work - track this and take what they wish from those posts.

No trader "sees" the Price Action in exactly the same way, but by working and researching you can develop your own style of trading - and I do answer queries when time permits

Good luck

Islander

{quote} Hi Mini Dax will become available as from 28th October on Eurex, how are you trading them now? Do you mean CFDs? Thanks
Hi Howard,

Yes, they are CFDs. I use IG Markets, Germany30 Cash Index, which is a continuous price offer over 24hrs x 5days a week. EU5 per tick. I usually trade a few at the same time, but try to maintain 3% equity used on account during trades, and try and target anywhere from 1% to 6% returns daily, and if the setup is a appropriate then I try and target a greater return. Sometimes I take more risk on account, but really depends on setup at the time.

Futures are 25 euro per point (2 ticks), CFD are only 1 euro per point (with me 10 ticks).
I use both.

{quote} closed three +140 and open one short and remains two longs open, so now i can play with two longs and one short, if move up possible win some points, if move down also possible win. Also you can add positiones in one side, or both. Lot of posibilities. {image} {image}
Close short +174 (1*174)

Finally i decided wait for the USA data, good positions just in case strong move. So the Sl of longs were hit, but win with the short.

have a nice weekend

You don't think that the SPX500 could be on its way now down to 1800? Broke 1900 twice this week.

Watch out for 9120+- next week. Might reverse if price decides to head near that point.
Energy, frequency and vibration.

Key dates on the cycles to watch for reversal are possible on 8-10 Oct and 20-21 Oct. Let's see.
