DAX and FESX closed the Y Gaps. No excitement today it looks. DAX below the 12K which is the 2 Weeks back POC as well (995) DAX still has a pocket on the Weekly TPO chart 900/865 to cover/fill FESX (Eurostoxx) has a pocket to fill @ 3340/3326
Hey Daxy, when you made the above post i assumed Friday gap was closed. Which gap were you referring to by Post 29,868

Thanks in advance.

No. I have to try to re construct this message. Better ask the same day when I post a message.

Yesterday I posted: that the Y GAP was closed, which means that we hit the Monday close @ 11.959 (Y close). So Monday Gap was closed.

Not the Friday close. We did that about an Hr ago @ 12.018

And I always talk about RTH or Cash Close and Open

I watched the video half, but sorry to say: He is not very clear with TPO/MP explaination.
He got some other good points for traders there, so maybe still good to watch the video.

Yes, worth watching that part, IMO good explanation of trader evolution, with advices aplicable for trading in general.

Some thoughts about that:
J. Dalton has several free webinars on YouTube, and with the ones you pointed to, from CME web site, some from Peter Reznichek... one can learn something about MP.

Plenty of things mentioned there, and in those other videos, are universal. Like inventory - overly long or overly short traders trapped and so on... Excess leads to balance and vice-versa... Those people, and some others - (like Awais Bokhari from http://www.eminiplayer.net/, or Unnamed trader that has blog on https://spxtrade.wordpress.com/, a few books and thousands hours of screentime) helped me to learn how market really works, even though I don't have MP. Or helped me to confirm my own beleifs about it.

IMO - Once you learn how market works, and what you can expect from it, define the S&R zones or areas or levels, whatever you wanna call them.
Then it comes to execution without hesitation, and understanding where price could go. This last part is a mofo for most of the people. Me included. Missed opportunities, or closing winners too fast etc - leads to frustration and loses. An area to improve. Most days when I trade my plan, I am profitable. Most days when I trade some "shit in the middle" without a plan, I am not. I will say that again - Trading is simple, but it is not easy.
Hope is dangerous in this game.

Fully agreed. Trading is simple, profit is fast...if follow my trading plan. But, the waiting for setup and do nothing is not easy...ALWAYS. The only challenge is discipline.

And proper money management keep me in green even in small pips. Again..the only challenge is DISCIPLINE.
