Monday

Today we got red around the worlds indexes:
Threat of Iran with bombing Israel is the reason for exploding oil prices.

DAX is in the battle around 18k...
Concerning the DAX we might see a spike to ~18024 after cash opening 9:00
to fall down with force into the 17k field.
Let's see...

Today a red bias

edit 9:08 - the spike came as expected... but after 5 minutes the force was 0 and the price went back. This is what we name a 'spike'.

Monday trade

DAX short 10:00 to 16:30
entry @ 18058
exit @ 17987 before cash closing 17:14
result + 71 points

GFIs1

edit 16:27 - the scenario hasn't played out - so the trade will not close 16:30
edit 18:15 - it came - later than expected - but still positive!

You don't typically hold through a 140 point drawdown. What gave you the confidence to hold through this time?

Very true - thanks for asking @Adapter
Today's bullish move went longer than previewed.
Nevertheless - the sending down of the DAX was to read out of the chart(s).
As I was not at the keyboard and haven't set stops - that was the only way
to get out of the trade.
Finally it worked.

My screen time will diminish dramatically - so I need a program that let me squeeze points out within given moves.
Hope you could profit in my former trades that worked fine.

Have a great evening

On ES & NQ there were very large volumes just after Eurex Open (7.00amUK). At yesterdays LOD's. I wonder if we have a new low in place.
