We hit the bottom of the current upward trend channel, I wonder if the up trend will finally break down.

I bought some Long trades again at 9520s. Closed them for +30.

I am off to bed. Not my day today. Ended up with around $4K in losses. No more for today.

Out of curiosity what do you do by next Friday if that price has not hit as options expire next Friday and all trades will get closed by next Friday. From current price I am long too. My guess is 9700-9800 by next week. Yours?

I just bought that break-out just before pre-trade open start, for about 40pts x 3 mini's.

I saw the breakout 1 minute before pre-trade open. After a volatile day and big drop, coupled with German CPI data released on the hour, along with the breakout candle 1 min prior to open, I felt that I had a good chance to get a breakout to upside.

I think I'm done now.

I had a bunch yesterday at 9500 but for some stupid reason sold them. At pre-market open it gapped up to 9665 open. This should climb today and early next week. Buy pullbacks

Quite possibly, but just need to consider that its FOMC next week, and we may get some de-risking (risky asset selling - equities, commodities, etc) ahead of a possible rate hike there.

Traded another breakout for 36pts then.

At 9.05 CET time candle, it closed above 20sma on 1m, and 2m TFs. Watched it go north above the up sloping 7sma. Banked it in the 9690s.

It should be absolutely indifferent if events could occur in this way or the other way around!
I can change the target at any time if the expected ascending volatility should decrease.

We hit 9700+ today and I had a bunch of longs yesterday which I sold before going to bed. I had bought them at 9500 I should have just let them ride. Not looked at screen and volatility and went to bed.

It is possible but I would not bet on it now and open a new position at 9800 to see if it climbs back to 9900 when options expire next Friday. That would be a big gamble. If you bought at 9500-9600 on the dip then you could let them ride and take the chance.
I have some that I have left riding still.
