Dax short 9810

Edit: there was a little wiggle around an old 61.8 and open level which gave a reasonably safe entry. Visible on a 15 second chart not M1. Stop now to +8.

Closed manually for 36. I am just not as quick fingered as the maestro. It does however give me something to aspire to!
As part of posting I intend to explain my rationale, all part of a self discipline plan plus may be interesting for others so skip it if you like, read if not.
At 9775, a quarter BRN, there was profit taking in stronge green bars. Action overall this morning is undecided so why take risks? Dow was showing similar. This could go further but I am not good enough to judge that so will bank and wait

One of my monitors......research never stops

The Normal Dax chart has a SS Indy - but it lacks the prices in the RH margin.....

Knowing when NOT to trade is as important as knowing when TO trade

Hidden Gap's work on "Expected Areas for Entries" is IMO a seminal work on this subject

I must be quicker making coffee. Having said that I am not sure where I would have entered that drop. Probably not until 9775 was broken but that had some risk.


Short from 9748 which looks safer. Stop -2

I could not find a Renko Indy. What's it called?
Edit: stop to BE. I am not liking the price action plus we are into the Euro coffee break session. Better to go do some reading and research for an hour or two.


Out at 0.

Long at 9755. I may regret that one
Stop to BE
Taken what was on offer as Dow hit 16075 and stalled and Dax at pivot and shooting star on M1. Bank 10 and quit for now.

Short Dax at 9812. Tech problems preventing me reporting real time(thanks apple). Dow seems to have a down move going on, Dax reluctantly following. Hoping for a run so in money stop and waiting.


I did have a 10 point loser before this from a limit order poorly placed.
Also some issues with broker taking 2mins 30 secs to respond to an order (and reject it).

Out +1.
My entries were just plain wrong. Patience.

GER30 missed my entry by a few points then made a 120 pip run.

US30, big imbalance at 15916. I have a pending long I placed last night. Looks like the move down has started and with intensity. In the bigger picture I believe we need more buy orders to make the next leg up.

Any thoughts?
