Dax short 11:30 to 16:30

entry @ 11066
exit @ 11126
result -60 points

IB vol low
not to forget Thanksgiving day tomorrow - US exchange closed

GFIs1

PS: important on THIS trade - a Walzer mixed in at the same time

and thus I did not take the stop loss as normal. Because the Walzer had some short
for later than rules here dictated with low volume.

..no short today ;-)

Yes, nice entry but

the update of the forum was sent at 9:36 (6 mins after the 9:30 open 30min bar) and with the price at aprx. 11300...

small details, big difference sometimes...

AFAIK he's not giving trading signals, just documenting his own trading.

That is true - I posted it later than taken :-)
On every LAST of month - I enter 9:30 in the opposite direction of first candle...
check it back. And as you know I only enter on full or half hour.
The reason why I was late posting was that I had a discussion right about that
in german forum...

Today is a classic @GFIs1 trade and also an important example of the value of a journal.


@xelaar has it right ...it's about documentation and trading your plan., not anybody else's signals or theories.

GFiS1 has
  • 1 trade per day => so either right or wrong ....once .... (never caught in the chop)
  • His plan allows for him to be wrong ....a lot
  • Sometimes he wins a little , sometimes. ..on those days where things run ....he wins a lot
  • He never loses a lot on any given day

If you read a bit about this game ....then you know that this is the guts of a trading plan .....


Nice work. .
