17th February Wednesday

Goals for today:

Trade according to my Plan with good feelings about the outcome.
Earn at least 40 FDAX Points by entering and exiting short and/or long trades on 1 min chart in the Decision Point Areas from the 3 Min Chart.
Earn at least 100 Crude Oil Points by entering and exiting short and/or long trades on a 1 Min Chart in the Decision Point Areas from the 5 Min Chart.
Don't make anymore trades once the profits are cashed in.

4 FDAX Trades (Today on the 13th trading day of the month we could see a similar pattern than the last times, nevertheless yesterdays pattern up then down then up should have happend on the 11th day not on the 12th so maybe because of the holiday on monday we are still on the 12th trading day today, who knows I will trade the usual wednesday times..):

7.30 am - 8.40 am trend

Huh... these last almost 2 hours following DAX have been such a waste of time and energy. :-)

Just thought I'd check in on my last e-mail again. I replied to you on Monday. No hurry, but just wanted to make sure it didn't get stuck in spam filters again.

Cheers!

Trading Rules:

how to trade profitable? with KSE. knowledge, strategy, execution.
Knowledge: You need to buy low and sell high. So I wait for the price to first go to a prior support level on the daily, 4h, 1h chart.
Strategy: Timing is important so I trade when there is a good setup on the dax, s+p, nasdaq or oil market. My goal is to make few trades with high risk reward, that is archived by either holding a trade till the market closes or reaching a level that sets up a counter trade.
Execution: Usually there is only a 20 point risk involved, so I try to get into a prior support level on the 10 min chart and automatically set a stop and multiple take profit targets.
All the little details how to trade better are listed here but I like to keep it simple: just enter the market at prices with a target that it at least 3 times the initial risk.
