5th 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. Paying attention to the 8.30 nfp news like last times i expect a heavy move that will be faded.

3-5 FDAX Trades:

4.10 am short
5.30 am - 7 am long (on trendline break otherwise hold short till after the 8.30 news)
8.30 am trend
9.30 am trend till 10.05 - 10.30 am
after 10.55 am short till 11.45 am
12.30 short till 14.00
14.15 short till 15.30 am or 15.00 am long

2 Crude Oil Trades:

9 am long (or 8.30 if news)
9 am - 9.30 am short till 10.20 am
11.00 am - 11.40 am short till 11.45 am
13.20 short till 13.55

Hi,

Found your blog a few days ago and been keeping an eye on it ever since. I used to trade both Crude Oil and DAX as little as over an year ago, but now I'm only trading DAX.

Just out of curiosity - are you located in U.S. or somewhere in Europe?

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.
