Long 24k on the breakout Willing to hold this time... (over weekend)

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

SL triggered. Not really bothered, should always avoid Friday trades imho. Expecting bullishness on Monday unless there’s bad news.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Agree - going to send you a PM, take a look.

SL to BE

Long 23.9 Should really lay off trading Fridays hmm.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Agreed... looking like it’s about to breakout. Waiting

I wouldn’t be surprised if this closes up, underlying is still all bullish. It’s also just hit support on H4. Might go long shortly, didn’t need to close out my position. Can only assume this is a symptom of Friday trading, profit taking and ...

Surprisingly to the downside though, everything is positioned for a bullish day (volume all bullish, p/c down, vix down).

Hit SL for minor loss just before it broke down luckily - getting out early when I’m not seeing what I expect! Fridays - awkward to trade.

Here we go?

Hmm expected bullishness... slow start, bit odd.

Long 24.1

Scratch that - almost doubled by the time market opened.

Market is looking for any odd reason to go up, doesn’t have to make any sense at all..

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I left my longs open... lol. Closing those out as soon as market reopens. Think it’s about 500+ total on longs, 200 on short. Good day.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I am taking it day by day until we are above the 200MA on the daily (as of last week price is above on the weekly). Underlying data is bullish (put/call ratio reduced substantially, volatility reducing) but we need to see a breakout of the current ...

Took profit at +200 pips. Could aim for more but I was heavily levered so that'll do for me! Might hit again at the next pullback. Definite red day. Getting the hang of the 5m chart, I quite like scalping!

Looks like it will break below...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Market is v. bipolar right now. We all know this is what you're in for if you play news releases, though. Bears still in control... looking like a red day to me.
