Just closed my first trade of the day. Was a good one. Today is the last day of the month so keep in mind window dressing for monthly candle

Thats no problem man. As long as you made profits it wasnt a bad trade at all. Better Profit then loss. The Bitch-Dax also could easly drop further how he did last weeks with a big gap.

these days in markets not every gap will be filled. mostly they wont or will few days later in the week.

First day of the week seems good so far and last day of the month looks good so far. Either a good start and good finish or just an end of the month window dressing..

If yesterday is anything to go by, and the positive Asia session earlier today along with Crude @ 34/bbl and EURUSD @ 1.088, I think today will be an up day.

I see a bit of support at 9390pts, which is the 1M 200sma, Daily 7sma, and 1H 7sma. Just needs to break the 4H 200sma @ 9427.

Buy at 9390 if you can buy. I will buy as soon as pre-market futures open. Hopefully I can get in around 9400. We are going up today

Entered another long trade upon a spike just before Pre-trade hour started, TP hit for 30pts. I love these routine setups on Pre-trade hour start.

I think we can go higher, but I will wait for a dip if we get one on XO.

Oil price up, EURUSD down, nice combo for a sweet move on the Dax to go up.

Yes, def. Spewing I didn't set the TP for at least 50. I see profit, and want to bank it early all the time.

Just out of interest what is your average stop loss per trade?

G'day Jupiter,
I trade with average SL of zero, I don't trade with them. This places extra pressure on my entries, to get them right, but I run lower risk levels. I may on occasions add risk with trades in the same direction if the trade is say 20-30 pips in the red and I believe the market is about to move in my direction, the purpose of this is to bring the breakeven price close to the market level at the time - with the aim to usually close the additional risk when all trades are at breakeven, and then I keep the original entry.

If I think my position is totally wrong, and there is no need to risk additional positions, then I usually hedge my positions, until I'm comfortable that the market is again moving in my direction. I'm not saying my technique is perfect, far from it, it can be risky, but that's where you need to use care with judgement.

I do not hold overnight trades. And I usually close all my positions at end of day, unless there is a hedge that I do not want to unwind.

Today, I knew it was a bullish setup. I took two additional trades on the break at 9500, and closed one for +20, and the other at +40.
