Monday

IFO at 10:00

FDAX

Gap: no gap
Gap closed during IB: x
Position price at 9:30: inside prior day HL
IB direction: long (extreme)

10:00 - 10:30 bar: long

I created a file to be able to look at the 10:00-10:30 bar for IFO days. It doesn't give good outcomes. So no trade

Tuesday

FDAX

Gap: no gap
Gap closed during IB: x
Position price at 9:30: above prior day HL
IB direction: long

DAX Long (paper) trade
Entry 10:30
Exit 12:30
SL 56 pts
Result -56 pts (SL)

Historical results with this setup:
SumR 374 (22 trades/win% 77.3%)

So, SumR translates to a relative (to current FDAX price) result of X points per trade (SumR/No of trades/10000*9am open price).

Let’s see




edit 11:15: I'm glad I'm paper trading

Nothing looks good enough for a trade. Win% is nice, but the profit/trade is too low

FDAX

Gap: no gap
Gap closed during IB: x
Position price at 9:30: above prior day HL

Nothing looks good enough for a trade, as the 'above' doesn't give many historical occurrences

Gap closed during IB: yes
Position price at 9:30: inside prior day HL
IB direction: long

DAX Long (paper) trade
Entry 10:00

SL 67 pts (very high with current ATR)

Tuesday

FDAX

Gap: no gap
Gap closed during IB: x
Position price at 9:30: inside prior day HL
IB direction: long

Not a very promising outcome, but it’s within the rules of taking it, so:

DAX Long (paper) trade
Entry 11:30
Exit 14:30
SL 59 pts (very high with current ATR)
Result 58 pts

Historical results with this setup:
SumR 207 (16 trades/win% 68.8%)

So, SumR translates to a relative (to current FDAX price) result of X points per trade (SumR/No of trades/10000*9am open price).

Let’s see



edit 12-10: SL almost hit
