Bought now 3rdFDAX at 754 . Now I have 3 FDAX at 770,5.
big FDAX contracts? that is quite some exposure.. how many contracts do you hold maximum? 3?

a moment where price and KS level were too close each other.
what does it mean for you when they are too close? no momentum?
are you trading with the heiken ashi candles only?

Yes I have now a big exposure, but after this good year (till now) I can manage this situation and I can add another 1/2 FDAX but I prefer to reduce my portfolio and I will sell 1FDAX is price will be close to breakeven tonight.
After all I have more positive issues on my favour (at the moment) than negative:

1. today DAX CASH INDEX has had the higher close in the last months;
2. as I said this morning there is a good chance to strong upside movement starting from these levels (more or less) till end of the year and I will hold my position for the next days/maybe week;
3. tomorrow morning IFO data will produce volatility, and in this case I will sell 1FDAX on spikes up or buy on spikes down;
4.EURUSD is supportive for FDAX until 1.09 holds and Brexit will transfer financial activity from London to other big european centres (Germany is in pole position).
5. In any case today I have a gain of 15 pips on 1FDAX and around 60 pips on 1FDXM.
6. KSen on M30, H1 remain strong on the upside, while on lower TF is slightly bearish, son for me it's a buy on dips situation.

Tonight I have only this unusual gap on S&P500 index that hurts me (Nasdaq Index is usual to have big gaps for days, weeks, or months).

I attach an example when KS is too close to the bid/ask price.
This is M30 FDAX situation these days (M30 or M20 are my higher TF).
You can see that every KS line touch or slightly below KS has been the best occasion to buy these days (obviously this has been a very strong trend).
And you can see also that at 20 CET today is back very fast on long side.

Thanks for analyzing your plan (very helpful to understand how you are thinking in trading. Told you more questions will come in the following days)
Any questions arising wont be criticizing, but understanding your way of trading. Have read your past journals and as said I am impressed.
Hope this nice job will continue.

Ok, but I'm human and as I've said many times we can loose what we have earned in weeks or months in few seconds or hours.
I have always this way of thinking in my head and the fear is always on the sideline of my mind.
I trade for living and this is not a game, is a war.

I will sell another one around 800 and I will wait or :
a retest of yd high to sell the last one;
or for a test of last week high (new support for today around 730/750) to buy another one.

Below 765 downtrend

Market is waiting US open to take a direction.
Very narrow range in place (between 789 and 802).

US S&P500 has this unusual gap to cover (current 10 points, more or less 0,5%) that can move all the markets.
This situation has stopped me to take further action this morning. I'm totally flat, but with some good gains in my pocket.
Better to wait.....

Below 765 downtrend and double top daily in place.
Strong reaction from 765 level. I had to follow, but today I'm not in the risk mood, after good morning gain.

Now it seems a choppy action between 765 and 810 zone, without break till now.
