Wednesday
FDAX
Gap : Up gap
Gap closed during IB: Yes
Position price at 9:30: inside prior day HL
IB direction: short
Not many historical trades to base the trade on, althoug a short 9:30-10:00 looks ok, but not good enough.
FESX same story.

This week I had zero FDAX trades in this journal. That's fine, that's what the rules are for
Wishing you happy holidays

FDAX
Gap : No gap
Gap closed during IB: x
Position price at 9:30: inside prior day HL
IB direction: long
On normal days there would have been a trade, but considering it's the day after Xmas weekend and that the statistics are not that great, I won't take it.
FESX nothing good.

No gap + above prior day HL hardly have enough historical trades to base a trade on. And then the system gives both short and long trades; so, again no trade.
FESX not good.

Very low volume on IB 2500 was expected and reason to not trade.
The stats are looking interesting:
But will just be watching
