19th February Friday

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.

Plan to archive these goals:
Determine trend, entry and exit points, times where I have to make a decision and trade my plan with a live account without hesitation.

3-5 FDAX Trades: (15th trading day no clear pattern, sideways or up or down anything is possible, to be precise this trading day of the month worked only well from the 1st to the 9th trading day, this week the predictions where not that precise)

True, the markets have been a bit tricky this week. A lot of sideways move from DAX (especially during mornings and mid-day).

And Fed's decision to raise the discount rate came as a surprise. This would make me feel rather bearish... we'll see.

Good luck!

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.
