27th FEB – DAX – Pulling the Trigger - Modest Margin The hesitation is officially over...I stopped staring at the chart and actually pressed the button. I am in at 25,306 at £1 a point with a target of 25,500

#DAX long at 25,306
Tight stop 25,265 to get a 1:4.7 R/R
0.5% bank risk - alarm bells are ringing

I know what I'm doing(really???)...but is it wise?

Starting to feel like I'm just watching instead of trading.

CLOSED @ 10,602.8
Best decision wasn't the entry...it was turning the charts OFF

By stepping away, I avoided micromanaging the pullback and caught a 300+ point move

Status: Calm & Happy

#ftse100 Trade Update:

#StopLoss moved to 10,415
Locked Profit: +119 Points
50MA is at 10,453 and Support at 10,426 so room to let it breath still

Market has to break short term #trend to take me out but happy to take profit if it does

#TradingDiary #DayTrading #ModestMargin

#ftse Update: Closed 50%
Result: +70 pts banked. 💰

The chart looks #bullish (broke both 50 & 100MA) but I don't trust the potential Weekend Gap...and its good to bank profit after a poor start to the project

Stress-free weekend mode: ON 🍺

3rd FEB – FTSE: The Hangover (50MA) - Modest Margin The FTSE partied hard yesterday, breaking out to new All-Time Highs...which was great for my ISA. Naturally, some profit taking was to be expected today...As on the previous post, whilst the DAX is ...

#ftse: The Hangover

After hitting ATH yesterday, the FTSE is cooling off.

• 20MA Broken: Short-term momentum has reset
• The 50MA is rising into support

Waiting for the "Institutional Reload" at the 50MA
