Summary Week Ended Friday 7th September 2012

Trades

 DAX - 12.36 BPS

All intraday trades.

Thoughts

Traded five days this week.

I am continuing to concentrate on the Dax, as it trades much heavier volume than the FTSE.

Thursday was very volatile during the ECB press conference. I closed my long trade FAR too early, only to watch the market climb higher all afternoon.

A difficult week, no great trades.

I have decided to:

1 - Not trade the F type trades (after 1500 London time), since this is my weakest period.


2 - Not to trade shorts, since the long side is where I have historically made the bulk of my profits.


By concentrating on longs, I can focus better on selecting the best trades.


Textbook example of 30 min resistance becoming support:



Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.
