    Review 4th Week of July



    If there is a 40 point move in the fdax its wise to take profit at any target rather than wait for another 10 points for the DP area target to be hit. Same logic if there is a psychologica level for example 6200 and your target is to take profit at this price level, you can also take profit 1 point prior to that level to ensure getting filled.

    today was really strange, i missed the beginning of the trends and got stopped out on the re-entries, which lets me come to the conclusion that not looking at 30 sec charts and historical turning points will improve my trading as the correct long entry was always above a blue bar on the 1 min chart after (or just before) a trendline break.

      Review 3rd Week of July

      This week I learned two exit rules to enhance the profitablity of any trade:
      1. Setting a limit sell order 1 point below the long target to ensure getting filled
      2. If the is no prior support or resistance area use instead of a limit order a trailing stop order below the last 3 min bar for long trades or above for short trades to get out of a trade once the 10 min dp area was reached.
      Furthermore I learned to keep my thoughts in the present, looking at actual price movements rather than relying on what happened last week. The best thing about using only for trend line breaks setups from 10 min charts is that I will catch the two major moves that happen almost everyday and not get stuck in small moves that end to nowhere.

      And I will be ready to enter at the times the FDAX started its biggest moves in the past:
