DAX Short @ 11720. T1 +11 points 1 lot 1 to go/SL BE in case it pops again........ +21p locked in last lot Today new single TPOs down to 11.660 First singles covered @695 DAX now almost on +1% from Y close @ 680. Need to cross that level {image}
DAX exhausted into resistance. You had better entry than me (712). I don't have market profile software, but once in a while market gives multiple reasons to enter a trade, obvious on simple charts. This one going to the archive. On your charts it covers singles, on my charts it is zones, or levels, and price goes from one to another. IMO - when you have a good trade, the key is holding, milking that cow to the next logical S/R zone. In this case, lets say Monday low at 660, or you could draw fib on the up move from 535 and get 650 as 38,2... Like you milked 60 pts out of it
, while I took just a sip (20pts) 
. Even 5 pts more per trade means something on the long run.DAX 15m
Hope is dangerous in this game.

{quote} Yeah man, roger that. Just holding winers for more, being more patient... things to improve. If you recognized the opp, you gotta make something out of it. Also, I think I am to conservative, lacking agresiveness. Afraid to take some trades. One US trader told me: "Be in sync with opp potential. High potential = agresive, low potential = conservative." Nothing new said, but maybe good as a reminder. Well, back to charts... and again, I
Agresvative

this way i find if it is heading one way then it doesn't get closed early, the further it drops the more I move the SL
Works for me but many different ways to play it.
