The FOREX website is overloaded or there is a server problem.
Difficult to post messages.
Every post takes 1/2 minutes to get on the site.

S&P is near its last Week POC @ 2148.50.

Needs to cross that level to make the DAX dive to fill the GAP down to 450 zone

US markets are not in a hurry to dive, so the DAX will wait and see.

DAX has 3 Lows in a row this Week @ 475 zone. That's what you may call a support level.

Still a light traded zone (Pocket) waiting from 475 to 430.
All depends on the US news

It comes down IMO, to always do the same. For example - always same risk. I had my target, it got hit. Move on.
If you bank partially - always do that and leave something as a "runner", or free ride with sl @ be, OR always close everything, because if you mix 2 aproaches, sometimes you will be right and sometimes not etc... rigid rules are the best, and then calmly move to the next trade and so on... Nobody can catch every single move from top to bottom. I am still working on all of that. Looks good on paper - implementing in real time is another thing, just like the difference between live and demo acc.

Off topic
IMO, this should be very boring if someone wants to live from trading... This is bussiness, eliminate rush, just wait for next setup, place order, put stop, put target, one of those got hit, move on... rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. Missed something? No big deal, not one individual trade or opportunity can mean that much. Patience and discipline - if you dont have them - much more time need to develop those than to learn TA. Just my thoughts.

I am glad I found this thread This is exactly what must be done! Find your comfort method and execute. Plan, Prepare, Execute, DeBrief (figure out if you adhered to plan) If not FIX this ...if you did...move on to the next one.

My plans for the day....where I will get long and/or Short.....and the zones where I will get out.

I think market is wondering if a bad economy will keep interest rates down and whether that's a good or a bad thing!
