@GFIs1

Thank you for your thread and sharing your thoughts on the markets.


I had a question relating to your initial analysis for the day. You state a bias, green or red.
I then notice at times when you post your trade, it is against your initial bias.

Is there a reason for this; and what generally changes your mind?

Thank you
d a x

Thanks @d a x

Well - the bias comes within the preparation time which is from 6:00 to 8:00
My decision for the trade derives from the rules - mostly from IB - sometimes already from 9:00 right on the start.
Thus bias and trade direction might differ - as we have seen in many shaky days.
So don't take my bias for a glimpse into the crystal ball...

Good trades!

Makes sense; and thank you for taking the time to explain.

A goal for today is at least 15700 - and for the follow up 15500

Red bias for the moment as said yesterday evening + US debt ceiling decision today not sure
Outlook a lower entry and a slip down until end of cash hours

Thursday

Asia all thin green except Taiwan

Gold further up to @ 1964

Numbers: Germany retail sales 8:00
EUR consumer price index 11:00
USA ADP employment change 14:30

Speeches: ECB President Lagarde 11:30

DAX made yesterday a low @ 15624!

DAX pre cash 7:30 @ 15747

No Battle @ 16k today

"A goal for today is at least 15700 - and for the follow up 15500" - the first assumption held...

US debt ceiling decision came yesterday - which will calm the markets a bit - but the Senate has to vote for it as well... time is running quickly - Next week (June 5th) USA will be insolvent if not both houses are harmonius...

GFIs1

another note to the Turkish Lira: new low yesterday: 1$ = 0.048 Lira

edit 11:14 - to close the gap price needs to get up to 15885

Week 22 result

More security in the market means better trades.
Even we had to wait for the last of the week...

This week had 4 trades
2 positive: + 20 + 84 + points
2 negative: - 40 - 40 points

Weekly result + 24 points
Yearly result 2327 + 24 points = 2351 points

Monday

Asia all green - Top NIKK + 1,7%%

Gold down to @ 1945

Numbers: just some basic ones - no influence on the DAX expected

Speeches: none

DAX pre cash 7:30 @ 16028 - very near to the 16k battle again

As price ended slightly above 16k - a small dip can cross the 16k today

Monday a green bias
