Monday

Couldn't do the trade this morning, but entry is about same price as at this moment anyway

FDAX

Gap: down gap (compared to Friday/small range)
Gap closed during IB: yes
Position price at 9:30: inside prior day HL
IB direction: long

DAX long (paper) trade
Entry 11:30
Exit 14:30
SL 44 pts
Result -8 pts

Historical results with this setup: See snapshot

SumR translates to a relative (to current FDAX price) result of X points per trade
(Relative trade result = trade result in pts / 9am open price * 10000, and the SumR is the sum of the relative trade results)

Let’s see
