Heres another early trade, about 25 min after the Open but before the cash opens.
You can see simple price action moves like this maybe 2 or 3 times a week. Never big runners but 5 to 10 ticks to start the day.
You can soon see if you're wrong. My stops tend to be ~7/8 ticks so r:r is ~1:1. After the first hour, volatility increases, and 'my type of trade' then tend to give a r:r of ~1.5:1.


Its important to find your niche, if breakouts not your niche its good to reconize that and dont trade it anymore.

Its seems you really like to trade early, i like it more after 9 am. I exit my loser between 2-5 Ticks , so i dont need a high win rate.

Today i had a difficult day. i missed the first move of the day, after that nothing to do for 2 hours. I traded the daily range, what was wrong, then i changed my opinion but get out on break even. Exactly then the Bund moved down, that makes me emotional as a result i overtraded. I just lucky the news came in and gave me a big winner. Thats was a only reason i had no losing day.

Have you looked at BTP (FBPT) as a second chart to watch.
It seems to move cleanly.
Its volume is much less than FGBL

Yes I look on FBTP,FGBM,FGBX,FESX and e6. For me it's to thin to trade at the moment but I consider to trade FBTP in the future , primarily for news or ECB event. Did you ever traded the FBTP ?

BTP has good intraday structure. Here are the volume numbers 8 minutes after start of trading today.

I don't explain my charts. If you like to follow my trades, look for these lines.

Question for me as a directional day trader is, if a market is predictable and consistent / not so volatile in its trend on a very short term Basis

to me FGBL in that regard is best

I found the last days very difficult to trade. What is your opinion about the last days ?

Today i could trade a Breakout, i focus on the 169.99 for a trade (Daily High from Monday) with a target of 170.22 (Break Level M30 and Single Prints from 11-7. But thats was just my scenario it must be confirmed by Price Action.

Maybe we saw the beginning of a bigger shift from Stocks to Treasuries for the next days.

my approach is a trend-following technique on a 2 min Chart with a 5-7 ticks stop
and observing price action on a 30 min Chart (kind of still working on it)

it seems that today and the 2 days before people were tricked into Shorts in the first hour
and then continuing with the uptrend after that

(Need more Posts to submit a Chart)

which would have triggered me into a short @ 170,45 / stopped out at .50 and into a Long @ 170,48 (small pull-back) with a trailing stop
no actio after the high at .87
