I will try to share a daily report of trading the DAX M1. There will be either 1 or two reports of the trading we did in the morning and or afternoon.
This will allow me to look back at the trades and learn from it.
So today it was a bit of a mix up. Started with failing to upgrade PC to the latest update. I had it shut down last night thinking it was done. Woke up and it only started doing updates. I got to pc late, i.e. dead spot on at London Open. I should have switched it on an hr earlier. It would have been ok having missed FO.
My mindset was not right. I have noticed that on NFP day I’m reluctant to trade in the am. But m1 DAX has nothing to do with that. I have seen it move and not move without any pattern that we can follow.
It’s completely random when it moves or doesn’t on the m1 chart. The only predictability it allows us to rely upon is that it usually brings in considerably good amount of volatility at London open on most days.
What I learned Today: I will come back with a clear set of goals. I will look at it every day, with a clear mindset. I will trade it if the setup is there. simple.
