Good value on the FTSE, took a big position there.

Closed three good profits. Being risk averse. I can’t see any highs being tested today. i will probably scalp the 5m if there’s another opportunity over US lunchtime:

Put previous long to just above b/e (small profit) Opened another long at 29.4k. PA seems bullish. It’s a good way to play the market if it goes in your favour - double ammo, no risk. Something I meant to reply previously to Jupiter but I forgot. I ...

Nah - in the initial stages it wasn’t being reported as a global pandemic. WHO have recently said this may only be the tip of the iceberg. Don’t assume we are out of the woods on this yet, by any means. Its not about price action or news. It’s about ...

Hmm - not true. The market reacted to news this morning. Institutions use news to crash the market whenever it suits. It’s the ‘whenever it suits’ element which is subjective and means you can’t form a trading bias solely from news. But you should ...

PA starting to look good, placed another long at 29.3k.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

It looks ok from a TA perspective (as I said in previous post; you’ll hit news highs and they will look for a reason to pullback). In contrast to what Jupiter said, this is where you want to see how the news pans out before jumping in. We are in the ...

Bought again 29.4k just now in the Asian session. bad news released. Quick slide and then blink - bullish PA again. Chinese CB are injecting liquidity again it seems. Leaving some in the tank as there’s a bigger retracement due at some point. Don’t ...

closed at 29.525 or whatever it was... can’t always post while meant to be working :-)

Took another scalp just now, 15m looks promising. Willing to lose today’s profits if it doesn’t go according to plan. Expecting another pullback soon, possibly next week at this rate.

I closed out for profit already. Lower highs, lower lows on 5m. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if it breaks out above but avoiding risk atm.

Long at 29.462 Lunchtime dip... hopefully

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Damn, missed out on some points here. A new high is usually followed by a pullback soon though anyway... rather safe than sorry in current climate.

Waiting to see if there’s a pre-US open dip for a quick scalp. Not taking big risks as per before, still believe we are in volatile times and the sentiment can change fast.

Perhaps I should have elaborated then, the reason why I thought Crabel’s book was useless is that concepts such as contraction and expansion etc etc are very basic and were learnt early on in my trading experience. With that said, if there’s any ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I certainly do disagree about Crabel’s book. For me it was disappointing. Especially given the hype that goes before it. Genuine question - what value did you get from Crabel’s book that you have successfully applied to your trading? I didn’t ...

Went long 29.3k, momentum ticked up. Hope those puts don’t bite me in the ass again but risk is managed.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Not just you. Concept isn’t lost on me - quote what I said before re population growth and ongoing consumption of McDonald’s, Coca Cola, Netflix, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft. I am just waiting on some bigger dips right now to avoid buying near the ...
