tanked after..lol

tanked after..lol

It was a OCO BB setup. However, came out prematurely. Wished I'd let it run.

Feel a little off today and I'm glad staying out. Opportunities looks so glaringly obvious.


Hope to be better prepared in future.

fwiw JT,

I made a note in my book when first suggesting these two - last Tuesday 19th.

Long DAX @ 11858 at the time - now it's 11835 = - 23
Short DOW @ 18316 at the time - now it's 18263 = +53

Doesn't include overnight charges but there is a positive outcome.


I do take these kinds of correlated moves when they go out of kilter.

However, need more time to plan prepare and execute. As I have more time will put them into checks and execute as and when opportunities arise.

Are you still long on this one?

 

[Atilla]

Nope stopped out for -17


Should add: for future reference the BB breakout worked well today but it's not always the case. With the benefit of hind-sight, placing OCO with a bigger TSL would have been ideal and if it was allowed to run.

Have to put it down to work in progress.

BB breakouts work great at market tops or bottom turns, if one can catch them.

Will try them again for sure.

If you see the first two diags I've put up for DAX and GBP/USD it shows the intention or plan. Sadly didn't get executed well.

Dax Long Term Analysis

Dax in weekly tested twice the 20 EMA . I think it's a good buy @current level 1830
for 1000 pips with a risk:reward 1:5 .

 

[2be]

The story of the last few days on Dax
Definitively London open has a good volume
Price level at US close gives some idea as well as divergence on M30 chart.
Happy weekend to all,
2be

I'm thinking likewise on DAX.

DOW and SPX coming off the boil but DAX 11850 is amazing.

It's been great on this thread guys, thank you look forward to better things to come.


Lessons learnt re: Plan.

DAX
Should have waited for DAX to pull back and test 11800 before taking
long. 11750-800s are good support levels for future ref.

DOW
No change limit order waiting fill at 18360. May have missed the top but will not chase market. 18250 showing resistance to any falls. Plenty of money and bulls out there I guess.

WTI
Did take some shorts and made some pips here. 61-62 got rejected because of a indeces coming off highs, oil glut talk and perhaps a turn down in manufacturing being pencilled in with slow down in China and else where.


Cable & EURUSD
Took a tumble after US CPI numbers. With the benefit of hindsight I think this was where the easy money was but failed to capitalise.


Have fun and enjoy all that you doooo....
