{quote} That last dip on Thursday created another buying opportunity.
Yes ... and both SP500 and DAX have reached their targets ... so now on 'extensions mode' with 'been carefully' mode activated.

ES in untraded teritory
YM on 2 week old WEEKLY POC. 18.442

CL recovered $1.00 last night after a $10,00 drop last week

DAX is hard to tell. Could pop to 480/510 or drop to 400/380 area.
Always hard to trade after a pop like on the opening.

Still below the 50%.
Tight SL. Hand on the sell button

FLAT -5

Outside/below the OR now.

Not really wants to cross the OR/400 to close the GAP

{quote} Last reversal dates all failed over this last month.
One set of dates failed in the last 2 months... that was 30 June.

Technically another set of dates didn't fail as the setup was invalidated as it was neither a high or low on that date. Those dates where the setup was invalidated was 19 july (dax) and 20 july (sp500), so technically should not have been traded.

23 June produced the interim high, 24 June produced the interim low, I had both those dates to watch out for on the Dax; and 7 july also produced a reversal too, which I had on my time series charts as another reversal date but I didn't post anything on it.

Its a tool / methodology, so if you trade it with SLs and TPs using other TA then it does just fine over the longer term.

If you prefer me not to post these dates, then I'm happy to not post them either.

{quote} Agree on the above, I also have an additional interim reversal date on Dax for possibly on 24 June 2016 (day after UK (EU) referendum).

As 10440 targets got hit ... and we didn't get a new push up after EU open ... 10347-10327 ... 10411-10428 ... -> 10125 ... also 10512 is still on the cards on the upside.

DAX closed the GAP less 5 points.

Support on 10.320 area.
Last week WEEKLY POC/Pivot Point/Friday Close.

10.310 Friday/Thursday Volume peaks

Let's see if it holds or not

Yes ... 10347-10327 ... now shoulg climb to 10411-10428 or higher (could exten till 10512) ... but I think we could be 'over' and get a retrace to 10195 zone, were we could begin another H4-H1 upmove.

Could make a quick drop to close the GAP and hit the WEEKLY POC 320/305 (make a single block tail on the TPO chart)

ES bounced of from its Friday POC (2168.50) so far.
ES explored a new part of the universe last night up to 2178.

Scalp Long
T1 +1 point
SL on Friday POC 2168.50
SL on 2170.00
FLAT BE trailer

Great chance the ES will drop later:
to close the GAP during Cash 2170.50
PP 2166.50
and a few Friday singles down to 2165.00 (also Friday upper level OR)

(Last week WEEKLY POC 2162.00)

DAX closed the GAP and hit the last week WEEKLY POC.
Have to wait for US direction.

EUREX drop is blaimed to the results of the EU Bank Stress test.
I got the feeling that this will be forgotten soon again, (but feelings have no value in trading)
They closed the books July end and take profit now.
