Reentered at 10050, sl 10061, tp 10k (200ema 1m). Struggling to get below the ribbon, would put be at 10040 (ask) if it gets there. {image}
Stopped at be - should have taken the 10 points, waiting for ribbon to break before shorting again.

Hi Sakisf,
Instead of trying to guess the top, why don't you ride the wave (the trend is your friend) and go long each time the price breaks above the ribbon?
best,

You know, that is what I was wondering a few minutes ago! Perhaps I was expecting a violent breakout which is not gonna occur. Still have trouble to trade the obvious than the expected (my wife reminds me every day how stubborn I am ).

Anyway, short 1055, sl 1066, tp 9952. Last one.

It's what kills most traders - imposing their own hopes and expectations onto the market rather than letting the pa do the talking. We've all been there, but it's a slow death if you make a habit of it.

True, I know, I am in the process of killing it. Already fixed a couple other things I was doing blatantly wrong in the past (no sl, move sl, overleverage). Now need to go with my system instead of against it.

got sl on that one too.

Mainly up today, target R2 @ 10,105 could come down a bit first, but pretty solid support from the 9970 area down to the CP at 9954
Killed it at the 61.8%, so a good run. May go higher, but that could be the top for the day, especially with the news coming out.

This is my H1 chart. The level I set for the pullback this morning was determined by the confluence of the CP for today and the 200ema. I didn't know the price would hit it pinpoint, but I did know that this was a very obvious line of support if there was a pullback, though the levels I gave this morning were around this rather than on it because you never know. Such obvious S&R lines, especially when there is a confluence of indicators, often attract the price like a magnet. Certainly today this was true.

DAX seems pretty directionless at the moment. Anyone got any thoughts? Retest of 9970 perhaps?

Rhino, what's your take on the DAX? 10080 seems to be offering strong resistance for further upside.
