Cheers! :-)

yeah this morning was tricky, but each swing was made out of two similar moves, so I entered on the retracements and exited at the 1:1 measured move.
But as I mailed you maybe its better to dont trade on such a bullish week (most of the time the first week of a month) at all but hold the 4 am position till 40 points are reached.

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.
