So here's the deal. I will only attempt to capture the move around London open I'm looking at anywhere between 60 - 70pips. I will hold the trade for anywhere between 10 - 20m (at most), I'm only holding them for as little as 1m now no wonder I'm ...

It fell down as fast and as hard as it went up. My bias was up. I wouldn't have sold it there. But prominent resistance level was there. DAX can be wild! So be cautious.

Journey to consistency

Not bad though. Still up for the day. The thing with London open is that the usual range is somewhere around 60 - 70 pips. Sometimes it goes up or down 60 - 70pips just like that right at the open especially if there's no visible S&R nearby. If ...

Up 50pips (about). BE for today 1st long attempted a little too early 2nd long a little too late Took profit at BE, got out a little too early AGAIN.

why not stick with DAX for a while ? I see your DD went from -10% to -1.8% trading DAX for a day well done!

My take on Emotional Discipline

I think another reason why it moved this much and this quick is that PA on 15m, when London came there had been 10 candles right below the 15m 200ema, it had been ranging since last friday, so not much ranging to carry on for London and it had been ...

I would get out now. could get a sharp adverse move. get back in on a retracement. nice job btw!! you do better than me on holding onto trades.

Journey to consistency

winners are catching up the losers that's what I am most concerned about. as for win to loss ratio I could do so much better than 48%, let's bring that upto 60%.

wish I held onto this a little longer +2.1% getting better everyday... another lesson if and when US is out on a holiday DAX can move mountains..

Journey to consistency

having a plan is part of the package on the road to consistency. however, I think by now we all know the complexities of price and market behavior - it just can' t be boxed into a few variables and few outcomes by so called system. I don't know how ...

My take on Emotional Discipline

so do I. and I think the same goes for so many "struggling traders" for me however trading 15m mitigates the constant need to compulsively open and close trades. lower down I go 1m,2m,5m I go mad. same goes for higher TFs as well I just don't have ...

My take on Emotional Discipline

short on another demo +11pips. I was aiming for 13202 at the least. today sucked for DAX not much going on I'm closing all of my platforms now.

Thought I was trading on my other demo since, heck I was on the TE attached demo. Well had to give away 3$ more. Shoot. No more trading on this acc for today.

Journey to consistency

I still think it's going to go up. Will check the PA for the next slot 19:45 - 20:00

Journey to consistency

17:30 slot buy -6$ done for today if I lose I call it a day.

Journey to consistency

its definitely going up from here but too many hoops to jump through I don't deal with these movements I tend to go mad, so I'll keep 15m as a guide, for it says that I should wait to long be back at 17:30 see if I can keep my gain and earn more.

Journey to consistency

Yesterday I called the direction right but went in too early, by keeping 15m charts side to side with my 2m I think I won't go in too early, well I go in at London open, that's just the right time if PA on both 15m and 2m are aligned with each ...

Journey to consistency

+20$ thus far PA on 15m was a little off, it could have gone both ways usually by London open if it can go both ways I told myself to wait until 17:30, but nevertheless judging the PA on 15m and 2m PA by London open I decided to short DAX. I went ...

Journey to consistency

my direction wasn't wrong I was just too damn early......

Journey to consistency

when you're wrong once you're more likely going to be wrong the next time. out of sync. pa is also at a critical level. 2 trades lost both. went against my rule exceeding 1% risk per day lost on the first trade
