Position price at 9:30: above prior day HL

FESX same

Wednesday

Thursday

FDAX

Again, doesn't look good enough.
I'm a bit more picky, but for today nothing good comes out of the system

Friday

FDAX
Gap: down gap
Gap closed during IB: yes

Not much left after applying these down gap/below filters. So, again no trade.


FESX same story.

It's ok, next week another week

Results

This week I had 0 FDAX trades in this journal. Days with a gap or (prior) days with extreme values are often difficult to trade, as often the sample size gets too small.
