GOLD hikes $ 9,00 this morning. Took an entry on the break out of the Yesterday OR. Today OR is done in a few minutes {image}
GOLD keeps popping.
Do they expect a down move in markets?
Or just waiting now for FOMC?

All forecasted US numbers came out (much) lower then expected.

Oil inventories in 10 minutes.

Looks logic the DAX will go up, but its FOMC day today. Anything can happen. DAX still needs to break out its OR
For the time being DAX is still in bull mode. This is like the 3rd or 4th week straight up since Brexit. Brexit brought a huge buy opportunity for bulls this year. Let's see if next week creates a short opportunity.

I think/hope a pull back ahead of FOMC.
Usually happens.

And the DAX still has a GaP to close below.
EUREX close in an hour.

T1 +9 x 4 lot. Tricky here on the 50% middle OR.
1 Lot to go.

SL BE +1

Not impossible Brixton.
Hard indeed with a narrow range as today. Thats true
It depends what your defenition of scalping is.
What is your expectation of a scalp trade. 5/10/20/50 points? (not pips but points as in futures)

Finding the right entry on a day like this is a hard job and needs a lot of patiance/dicipline/concentration!

There were today 3 to 4 good buy scalp set ups and 1 or 2 Short scalp set ups. But all inside the first 60 minute Opening Range.
You have to realize that.

You have to take them on the edge of the knife, otherwise you are @#$%^&

That requires technique. Took me several years and a lot of money to learn that and I still make mistakes.

See what I wrote below the chart in red/white to remind me every time when I scalp

If the DAX can cross the down side OR, it could drop to the Y High 10.270 or even the Y close +/- 10.250

Stoploss 10.300 + 20 points locked in.

ES is now bouncing/dancing on last week Weekly POC 2158.25
ES down target 2154.00 Y Low

DAX on its PP and Low level OR

cheers, but i don't trade the first hour either. i start trading at 9am uk time, so missed those. it was just one of the days for me. sometimes you just have to look at the market and know "i'm not going to make money today"
