S&P wants to close the GAP of Sept 8 @ 2170.50 / GAP closed DAX on its normal Weekly POC @ 700 (2 Weeks back Weekly POC)
I do not see how there was a gap from two weeks ago. Last time it was at around 10,685 it had pretty much went there with all apps closed. We had plenty of gaps under 10,000 to cover and those were never convered by the time futures contracts had expired last week so anything that had to be covered under 10,000 is pretty much no longer being covered since 3rd quarter futures had already expired. I think fresh QE Stimulus funds kicked in to lift markets up. Same thing had happened in Asia earlier on this week. Governments usually work together in coordination with Stimulus funds to boost local growth numbers for economy.

DAX Scalp short @ 686 Maybe down to 655? T1 +8 points Tight SL. Still strong but I expect a little pull back ahead of EUREX close. Naked Daily POC Sept 8 above @ 730. Could see a push up there. Many shorts placed/taken in this zone. Market makers are gone kill them all I think. (depends how far away your SL is ofcourse) {image}
DAX SL BE @686 (entry) +1 point locked in
FLAT 2nd lot +1

(DAX 725 Naked Daily POC still calling)
(S&P Weekly POC @ 2174 still caling)
(DOW Weekly POC @ 18.400 still calling)

DAX down targets 655 & 625

US markets remain ticking up..

Dax short 10,698 CFD, stop @ 10,710
closed @ 10,682 for just 16 points.

Just want to show where the DAX stopped.

Also pockets to fill as down targets later on. Longer term trading.

I kicked out the so called VWAP POC lines. (yellow dashed lines)
They make no sence to me. Not respected by the market as a S/R level.
So I'm only looking to the traditional POC lines as (I use to do for 4 years already)

I know this is a index thread primarily... but on days like this, when indices are trending, you can find some strong stock that wasn't so strong recently, and buy it in premarket or right on the NYSE open. I was thinkink about AAPL, which looks like it was bull flaging for past days. Anyways, it was $114.07 at open I think, and now about $114.90. Didn't trade it.
Hope is dangerous in this game.

{quote} Absolutely... Here is one example, of today price action. {image} This is a 15m chart, pay attention to the ema10 and price have stayed above it all the time. You can use sma20 also (bolinger bands median line). That is some conventional "wisdom", how to use certain ema or sma to determine the strenght of the move. For US Markets, there are some other indicators as well, called "market internals" such as TICK, ADD and VOLD. TICK = Nyse tick - ratio between all upticks/downticks ADD = ratio between advancing and declining stocks VOLD = ratio...
Am I right to say that these market internals data are only available to those with actual access to the US markets (i.e. not CFDs)?

DAX Short @ 678
Try again

30 min for EUREX close.
US markets keep it high or higher until EUREX close.

Where did you get the most knowledge about profile
James Dalton book mind over markets?
I have i for over a year and never got completely through it
Should I continue it or read other material that you might know about?
I.know Peter recnizek from Shadowtrader. Net is also a big fan of Dalton and the profile but the way he explains uses it is more complex than you do
Keep it simple does the magic I guess

I had a basic training in an other US trading/training room.
They told 25% of the MP/TPO only.
The rest is practising myself. Still do.
Watching the moves/where they stop (on TPO charts)

Still many secrets on TPO charts. Like patterns, how to see markets could move up or down.

But I know MP/TPO charts better now then I know my ex wife.

/NQ is strong, Russell 2000 is leader now.

Nice trading Dutchy...
I will take a break, but before that, I will just ask you one thing - do you have some lets say "usuall" stop for /ES?
I usually use something around 2 points, sometimes just 5 ticks, but usually 2 - 2.50 points.

In general max 2 points/8 ticks.
