Wednesday

Today the IB (OC) again is almost flat, there is no gap and the IB closed inside prior day HL range.

I don’t really have a nice setup for this, so no trade today

Today the IB is short, there is no gap and the IB closed inside prior day HL range.

None of my setups fit the variables today, so again no trade

Hi, not sure how to answer, but I do like the system I'm journaling here yes

Be careful, if you are just starting to trade. The DAX is a monster

Monday

Unfortunately, I couldn’t trade this morning as I’m travelling.

Today the IB was long, there was an up gap that didn’t close. This gives the trade short 9:30 – 11:00, which would have given 40 points profit.

I’m counting it in this journal, as I want all trades registered, also when I was not able to trade it live.

Today the IB is long, there is no gap and IB is inside prior day high/low. If the IB was red, the system would give the same trade with an SL of 40.

Exit 12:00 @ 15761
SL 30 pts
Result -4 pts

Historical results with this setup:
737 pts (30 trades/win% 77%)

Let’s see

edit 12:02: The last 30 minutes price dropped 30 points

Wednesday

Tomorrow morning I'll be travelling again, so I can't trade live, but will check afterwards if there would have been a trade or not.

Edit 13:46:
- Arrived in The Azores. Here it is 2 hrs earlier than in Amsterdam, so I hope I can wake up every day on time for the trade.
- This morning the IB was short, no gap and price at 9:30am was below prior day HL range. This gives a long trade from 10:00 till 11:30 (with SL 29p), what would have resulted in a 13p loss.
