I trade only Dax m1/m5 from today, no currencies, no other time frames. I hope the best:)

Today's trade opportunities on Dax m1. Possible 85 pips only on m1. I take this picture here to remember, if I will have a bad day on Dax in the future with live situations. I hope the best

That dax short on Friday afternoon was definitely spectacular. I saw you asked whether it's ok to enter the next step down (on m1) having missed the first break of aims, and I'd say with the gator wide open it would not be a bad move but I'd wait for the price to drop out of aims again and confirm the weakness in the price, and I'd be setting the SL at the top of that second box too.

I took this trade on m5 principles myself but bottled out too early. It hovered a long time in the region of 9710 and retraced towards 9720. I got out at about 9690 and notice it carried on its long fall immediately after. And I expect everyone else would have taken a reasonable profit from it and gone away if they were doing the same thing. We all lack the needed tenacity. If only...........
