250 was make or brake, they did double swing from there - 310, I reversed trade at 295 tho, a bit too early. Will close it shortly.

250 to 295 = nice run on one swing up (if you're long and holding that is....ha)

I went short at 911 but closed it and took a long at 902 stop at mid 80s

I was long, with 15p stop - 235 (manual, don't use hard stops), reversed at 295 but about to close it, bad entry.

Hi guys, loving this thread, certainly the best quality thread on the site in the 2 years or so I have been lurking, so thank you. I really hope the trolls and con-artists stay away.

Directing a query specifically to KzX and Pipologist, could please define how you get your OR numbers and any other S/R levels you use during the day? I trade the futures contracts not CFDs so my numbers are always slightly different to yours.

You won't find the opening range and intra S/R useful then. They are striclty for EU, every pair, contract etc. is different. I mean it moves in a different way.

I currently use a variation of a pivot points formula for Projected ORH and ORL.

Anyway, welcome, any insights and experiences you have from trading futures would be welcome and appreciated. I used to work in the industry in the past, and our firm had several CME and CBOE pit traders as clients back then. Any scammers or disruptive posters will be ignored and banned.

luckily i placed my stop at projected SR of 819 instead of in the middle of no mans land, 902 entry is holding and moving to BE plus 0.5 now

Sorry, you guys may have misunderstood, I trade the EU, just the CME futures contract and not the CFD offered by <insert broker here>. The levels are all very similar, you just need to adjust for fair value.

Thanks, I also use traditional Pivot Points for my intraday levels.

last trade was BE, long again from 939 with tight stop

I'm looking for an intraday double top or variation of an M pattern near the top

edit at 12:12 closed long for 0.5 p profit, reversed short at 1.13 even didn't like the way the 1 and 5 mn was trying to turn and the other longer term bars were also "jumpy" for lack of a better term, unstable...now offered at 99

looks like I may get whipped again here but will hold until it goes to 1.1312 which is my current R level and recent H area, if it reaches there I'm out

stopped, but sold at the 5min pinbar again at 078. I'm net minus 10 now for the day again, this is going to be my last trade I think for the day either way. Trend is up on all intraday intervals so it's kinda of an iffy and dangerous trade, but they might have put in a high for now, if they clear the top of the pin then I'm out -19 for the day and will be back tomorrow or unless I see something juicy and can trade it, if it is indeed the top for now I'll try to ride the PB as far as I can if it allows to the plus side of pips for the day, looking for 969 and 894 and 819 as probable exits. Good luck the rest of the evening everyone.

Short 1325 on a stop hunt. You can probably tell difference in CFD vs Futures price on chart from prior SH levels

Looks like a ±14 pip difference currently in CFD vs Futures to account for fair value, that number will decrease as we get closer to Dec futures expiry.

I'm liking the optimistic version. 30p below my entry and a nice finish to the day.

4 hr looks like a solid shooting star forming. Perfect.

13:17 just moved stop to a few ticks over BE for the day, it was not minus pips, but less than I expected after such a good start before the European session even opened.

I have tp set at 277 as above too just in case.

Have a good rest of afternoon/evening.

It's on optimistic version as I said, first that bloody 295 needs to be broken.

Just a reminder 295 on my charts is roughly 281 on yours. I'm also off for the day, GL everyone.
