Today FDAX opened in prior day HL range and stayed in this range during IB. IB OC is short. Prior days were green.
DAX Long trade
Entry 10:30 @ 15506
Exit 13:30 @ 15500
SL 49 pts
Result -6 pts

Let’s see
For FESX, a long trade 10:00-11:30 looks ok. Just watching it.

Today FDAX opened in prior day HL range and the IB ended above this range. IB OC is long.
Doesn’t look good for a trade.
Also not for FESX.
