1st November Monday

FDAX:

Strategy for trading on mondays is to enter low risk trend trades after 2.35 am, 3.30 am, 4.15 am, 5.50 am, 8.30 am, 9.35 am, 10.30 am and 2.00 pm.

after 3 am: Long above 6675 or Reversal at 6631, Short below 6662 or Reversal at 6678 or on Low Risk Entry Signal before the breakout

2:38 am SHORT
3.27 am LONG
4.46 am SHORT
5.45 am LONG

after 9:30 am: Maybe first a gap fill on the S&P then the trend from this morning. Long above 6660 or Reversal at 6633, Short below 6643 or on 6655 Resistance or on Low Risk Entry Signal before the breakout

9.39 am LONG
10.04 am long
10.17 am SHORT
2.14 am SHORT

Crude Oil: In addition to entry times that happen on stock market indices I am looking for moves after 5.30 am, 9 am and 11.50 am

3.50 am long
5.45 am LONG
8.58 am LONG
10.21 am SHORT
11.55 pm LONG
1.56 pm short

S&P and Nasdaq reached Todays Targets, but because of the fast upmove I also made countertrend short trades to fill the gaps.

Euro bounched off 1.400 level so the 1.3860 short target was my new goal.

Crude Oil almost reached the 84 target but because of the fast upmoved I also made a counter trend short trade.

The DAX did not reach the target, so I stopped out my long trade and reversed short after 10.15 am.

This week the time zone is a bit weired, usually I use Eastern Time but since europe is already at winter time I am posting this week the trades with 1 hour offset (usually german stock market opens at 3 am but because of US is still on summer time it opens at 4 am, but I write in my block long or short at 3 am, so next week I everything should be normal again)

You know its really a cycle the best moves happen every week at about the same time...

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.
