DAX DOW NASDAQ

The Indices - Enjoy The WILD & CRAZY Rides  (DAX40 US30 US100)

The indices are a lot of fund to trade. I have traded the DAX40 for around 10 years now. 

IF you trade if for that long, you kind of understand how this market moves. 

The DAX can move rapidly right from the London Open and sometimes an hour before that but really the official open of DAX is the London Open. 

The US30 is a WILD WILD market. It requires (these days) around 100 points of stop loss at least but can move 400-800 points on the day. IT moves differently before and after the US opens. The same is true of NASDAQ100 but this pair is not as wild as US30. However, the NASDAQ is a capital-weighted index so the biggest 10 tech companies like AAPL and GOOG and AMZN can move the entire index. The US30, however, is a price-based index so its fund to trade.

So we have a beautiful little signal here... but does it pass the test? 

[immy]

I will not be waiting for a signal here

I can see the previous level has been touched 

I want the price to g below this and then create a signal.

The Dax and the rest of the market seem to be stuck near the levels. No volatility. I am not feeling bored today, I am feeling focused and relaxed, which is a good thing. 

I see it's hit some levels, but still look bearish. Let's see if we will see some breakouts later today or next week.

They did break out to the upside. It created a signal but it was too late before the weekend. Had I taken it, I'd have moe SL to BE which would have been hit overnight after Sunday night open. So he ho... NEXT]]

I was not watching NAS and US30 last week, which was proven to be a mistake. I can handle 6 charts and I understand and have traded US indices for far too long that I understand very well how they move. So I must not throw away a decade of knowledge and experience.e 

If I was watching it most probably I'd be long or have already taken 5R.

DAX started moving at the FO. IT was nice to see. I looked at the m1 chart at the open and found this setup... how lovely.

I hope and I'm sure there is not doubt that you caught this one @emma

Trades like these are possible every now and then. especially if you see a beautiful setup like this one. 

The trade has an easy target as well. Yesterday's high. When the market is in a trading range on H1, use those levels for targets when trading on the m5 or m1.

Did not take these signals for 2 Reasons: 1, the candle with a long wick hitting Level to the left. 2, already long on UJ

[immy]

I'd have gladly taken this signal but the ones before it since there was this doji / range candle that hit previous highs. 

But this pullback signal number 1 was just before Open. So I'd have taken this.
