More testing on the 30min -7:30 to 8 am bar. I make it a loser -down bar ( 8 bars from the right) broke short and promptly reversed). Couldn't see a profitable 123 there Lem ? Comment welcome. {image}
Hi Mr T, i think with Dax you have certain times of day to trade it as it doesnt respond to the usual trade patterns.
At 08-00 it does trigger and retrace a lot but not always, but you trade the trigger and be prepared to trade the retrace.
same with the 06-55 bar, it normally opens at 07-00 the opposite colour but not always. Looking at it this time could be extremely profitable . BUT i do not have enough stats yet. The 15-00 break is also good.
You just need to be ready to trade the opposite end after retrace.
Hope you are well..

Mon Dax, 07-55 bar. Both ends failed but i did well on the first short break due to a manual entry. i only needed one trade to go in.
Do it again later today.

I suck at exits but here is what today brought. {image}
It is difficult to gauge. You can always look for a clue, 00, pivot etc. and it is very easy to see after the event.
You can always look for daily range to help.

Had to drop the FrankenBreak this morning as I had four 1-2-3 trades trigger in what seemed like as many minutes, lol. Both variants would have had to involve a counter and while #2 has hit its target, #1 is still faffing around.

There are only so many plates one can spin on sticks . I need to go lie down in a dark room for a bit...

Trade well, all.

OR, build a patio or raised bed lol. That is why i only trade one pair or sometimes 2.
Today dax was playing around and i don't feel confident with it, but i gained .Then i saw a nice set up on A/U 07-30 break. It broke High then retraced so i went long and stole 5% even before the +10 was made. yay. I am away very soon.

As noted, I wasn't in on the FB today.

Having issues over with my H4 Billy-Bar on the Brent-US Crude Diff, where the clock change here has really messed up the timings on the bars. I now have the option of the 01.00 - 05.00 or 05.00 - 09.00 bars. The previous looks perfect on the charts looking back but that's deceptive, as the markets are effectively closed and you can't trade that, so that leaves the latter, which just feels too much like getting to the party far too late.

Dax 30 minute bar ( 7:30 am to 8 am) was a fail, long or short, for me.
I don't think a "wick zone" would have helped but any comment welcome ?

Over in the corner, however, is me, myself and I...having seriously out-thunked myself . I didn't like the look of EJ and nothing else really jumped out either. CW the fact that a bunch of mega 1-2-3 trades and the FB had given me a good cushion to work with, I figured that I'd play the K-Gap on The DAX-Monster. It was an ok-looking set-up anyway and that coupled with the likelihood of a move South to close the opening gap gave me a rush of blood to - well, somewhere but it sure wasn't my head.

So now I'm just...waiting...waiting....waiting...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Yeah, sorry, Mr-T. Not much on there at all. The only two options would have been to just call it a bust and move on or wait till the US Open and play it there, knowing how much price returns to the Open Zones. That looks like it would have paid off just now, with a Southbound flight...

Nope, sorry, bud. No 1-2-3. The 1-2-3 set-up bar has to be a new High on the day (the broker's day, not session).

Bowlocks !! The low trade ( the first trade mentioned -red arrow) was okay though ?
But here is the one that matters -the CAD "Dead Zone" and "Wick zone" trade. Feint North but not enough to trigger a long, and then a nice drop South.
