#DAX

(1/16)

Some explanations using the latest proposed bearish trade

Probably some traders do something similar, or will do it in another way, they may even disagree...

It doesn't matter, it is just my vision and I think it can be a help for other traders
(2/16)

CHART 1:

Simply the evolution of the trade and all the zones and indications proposed

Highlight Moment: When TP1 hit and price rapidly bounces, a common temptation is to expect a strong bullish momentum, in the session and in the medium term

Reality was very different
(3/16)

LOOKING FOR THE BEST POSITION

(associated risks)

➡️Option 1:

Too close to the bullish option, apparently better positioning, but more chance of failure

There is no significant reference level above

(Remember that for me, above 15760 DAX should reach 15850/900 easily)
(4/16)

➡️Option 2:

Fewer potential points

Main reference zones ➡️ higher probability of success

Price very close to the zone: a spike at any time of volatility ➡️ SL hit

This situation happened last week, after that the price reached some proposed TP
(5/16)

➡️Option 3:

Risk that 15728 becomes support, any SL would jump if the price exceeds 15760

This option reduces a bit the risk associated with Option 2

Really the risk of spike in high volatility still exists, but now a higher spike is needed for the SL to be reached
(6/16)

➡️Conclusions:

Each option has associated risks, something inherent to the trade itself, logically

Neither option is truly superior to the other

The choice of the short entry option (even a combination of options) should be made based on the following factors:
(7/16)

➡️Time: your time availability, both to initiate the entry and to monitor the trade

➡️Risk Aversion: Risk/Reward, SL size, contracts size,etc

That is, based on your time and your aversion to risk, one option will suit you better than another (even a options mixture)
(8/16)

TRADE MANAGEMENT

➡️TP1 (Main TP): is what makes you a profitable trader in the long term

Options:

1)close the entire trade

2)close 2/3 parts of the trade

This is influenced by time and risk aversion, again
(9/16)

➡️Expected bounce

Main TP = high bounce probability (but at that moment we don't know the bounce intensity = uncertainty)

Options:

1)Do nothing

2)Scalp long (TP around 15698)

3)Hedge (more advanced, requires experience in it)
(10/16)

➡️Second chance (probably the best entry)

It's not a random trade, it's a (previously studied) market structure

Has been fulfilled:

A)TP1 (Main) ✅

B)Bounce TP1 Zone✅

C)Short Zone hold price again ✅
(11/16)

It's a situation bordering on perfection, on many occasions the bounce exceeds the short zone by several points, and then returns below the short zone. This time, the bounce ends in the perfect place

Options:

1)Add new (full) position

2)Add 1/3 or 2/3 of initial size
(12/16)

Additional consideration:

Due to the fulfilled conditions (explained above) + concept "second chance (probably best entry)" (now I'll explain):

Now we can be more aggressive and change the proportions of each TP

1/3 TP1 and 2/3 TP2 (from full position)
(13/16)

Concept "Second chance (probably the best entry)"

James Jude was talking about this recently 👇

(14/16)

James refers to a time frame much higher than that of this trade, but in the market, as in everything in the cosmos, the macro is repeated in the micro and vice versa

We can call this the Matrioshka concept 😂
(15/16)

Finally trade finished, you can try longs in that final zone, but the structure and setup have been executed

Now the uncertainty is bigger ... also Friday and the last day of the month

If you have done adequate work, there is no need to trade more today
(16/16)

As I said at the beginning, they are just my opinions and visions

#DAX My psychology...

This is a time when many of you think, after a 150 point trade (respecting my TPs), that you have to continue in the market ... some thinking about bigger falls, others about buying the bounce, right?
For me, here are three long-term psychological failures to be consistent:

➡️Overtrading

➡️Too greedy

➡️Chase the price
For me the main move is done, all TPs reached and the probable intraday buy zones have too much risk in this market situation (understanding the market context is very important, and very difficult too)

In fact, first buy zone is broken (15550),and the second is far away (15409)

#DAX Hello friends!

Finally, 9 days after this tweet, this is the final result

I have not been very active, but as I said everything was in this Chart (even without intraday adjustments)

Since then my messages have been:

The main move was the previous Monday

Tight range afterwards, little volatility and many traders' paradise

I warned of the fake, 2/3 hours before

Bullish targets intact if 15506/486 zone held
If you were smart and used these zones and levels + understanding my messages, everything will have gone well😉

Recently I have seen that every time I go to Twitter I have lost followers 😱😂 so instead of "welcome new followers" I say "goodbye old followers" 👋😂😂
