Sitting out London open for the first time this week It's been a disaster having shorts during London open & close during this whole week with these stupid pumps.
Just don't let losses at the London open mess with your mindset. It's always a risky time to trade, as technicals are usually blown out the window. There are always far less risky, more obvious trades during the day than the London open, even though if you get it right it can pay big dividends.

We've got support coming in on the 30m on the 200ema/sma, which are together this morning at 10,119. The 200sma held it twice yesterday.

Tightened too quickly.

Price has found support at the confluence of yesterday's close at 10,147 and today's daily pivot at 10,139

Thanks - IMO the Dow's been leading price down, heading for its BRN at 17,200 - its low so far is 17207.

IF it hits its BRN, that would suggest ~MR1 at 10,113 for Dax......TWT

PS Its interesting to note that Dow is trading more volume than Dax! Back to trading.

Yup, don't like the fast moves at this time now even if they are on my side. Put a small long sp (2023.5) too waiting to see if lower 34 ema & sma100 supports it.

Sl 2021 now, tp 2034.50 res on daily.

I may be wrong, but I don't see us going to much higher than 10200. We seemed to have tested that a couple of times the past week with no clear breakthrough. Again, I may be wrong.
Very expensive mistake not to follow my own advice. Need to stick to my guns.

Hopefully you didn't buy though. You are right, only ever follow your own methodology. I don't think anyone really wanted to risk buying at that level after the run up overnight, so the least level of resistance for the open was down, but the way the price has been so far this week, and with nothing too different technically at the moment, we can easily see another push up, and even those highs I was talking about. I see no reason for a sell off today, but hey, I'm just putting my thoughts out there, and I can be as wrong as the next guy

Little bit late but moving the sl (damn candy crush!) paid off here. Now at be+25 and still targetting above today's high. Missed buying dax at 10100 after the 100 points down for the retrace (damn candy crush again).

Closed half off, paid back a bad nikkei short from last night. Now rest tp or be.
