About trades During the last 6 years, I showed ~1500 live trades on the feed. Yes, that's correct. I am fed up with it. Less of that in the future, since I switched execution on the "dedicated" laptop, while using PC for charting and posting on X. There will be -illustrations- of entries using TradingView. I have always thought that SEEING the trades - from the platform, where you can SEE the ENTRY / STOP / TARGET on the chart - have some value, and wanted to SEE how other traders execute. Showing trades, making real time comments - takes time, and can mess with the managing of those trades. This is very rare to see here on X. What community wants changes over time, and many are more interested in guesswork of "where is this going", than to actual trades. Finally, showing the trade AFTER it is closed as a only a line on the statement is IMO worthless, since a 9-yr old kid can make that. There are service providers that didn't show a single trade in decades, and that's fine - if they can teach you valuable lessons. Everything above is just my opinion. This platform is free to use, and you, and only you - choose who to follow, and / or to trust. I wish good trading to everybody.

IF M. NOTES gives a few predefined setups, THEN it is worthwhile getting it. Days are not the same, some days will produce only one predetermined setup, some will have more. Three so far today. $DAX

Short had rationale, but pullback long also had rationale. Futures 15 min charts below ⬇️ ⚠️The more "STUFF" is together at inflection point (zone), the more chances there will be a reaction. Zone, Futures Settlement, Y Index Close, Session Midpoint. ❓How people lose? They chase and invent breakouts when market is slow. They are LATE in execution, and wait for the market to drop 30-40 pts to initiate a short, then they basically sell support... and vice-versa. On the long, additional entry point was OVER the VWAP. Please don't tell "but I don't have VWAP". Get it. It is free. Real time feed for futures is not though, it costs a whooping 2 us dollars per month. ▪️ Execution is like sport - to be good at it, you need to PRACTICE. Start small.

Why fix things that aren't broken? 1) Identifying a setup 2) Taking it, scaling out... covered with more posts early points secured, on the same setup we had yesterday on DAX (and on Dow), both showed here

Market is still "mechanical"... before I update zones, these are the ones from Yesterday - FDAX chart PMKT Low made at S1 zone (Previous Week High). For today, this will be labeled as PMKT S.

"go with the break from the balance, fade the false break"... (Jim Dalton, Balance Rules) That's what #FDAX did with the Premarket Range. Couldn't break above - went to the opposite end of it. Couldn't break below - went back to the MIDPOINT. Bigger decision can wait US RTH.

👀 process / structure ---> usual setup, execution done for the EARLY RTH

~9:30 CET The coiling between VWAP / OPENING LEVEL and PMKT High isn't going to last forever, so watch for the false / real breaks of this small range "Futures Gap Visual" in the quoted post.

"Piece deal gap" on FDAX: price hit R2 zone from Friday Despite News Driven Moves every day, last week only one Main zone was broken on them (Wednesday, down move). Market is respecting inflection points, and Price Action is pretty "mechanical". Take advantage of that.

👀 probably this is behind the 9:56 CET move ⬇️, when FDAX made 160 pts in a single minute... but WHERE that move went? DIRRECTLY into R1 zone, for a 100 pts drop. (previous post) Happy buyers, happy sellers... done for today and HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!!

$DAX Zones In Play ⬇️ ✅ Bias was correct for now - Neutral-Bullish, buyers pushed from slow-mo Price Action... / bull flag This is probably yet another News Driven Move and R1 zone was a excellent target for buyers, while entry point for a quickie for sellers (limit order).
