Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Yes.


    It was just an idea I'd always had. Was just discussing it it b/c the 'how' was mentioned. But what I'm on about, is the way there are so many days that look VERY similar. Makes me wonder if it is a coincidence?

    I.e., just visually, do those days(the ones i have grouped) not look similar?

    This I actually traded today with real money: 1,77 € gained. I use VERY low risk, as I am still a learner and use a certain small real amount as my learning tution.

    Older trades are all hard comodities and FX, which are not related to the task above.

    Acutal trade: some 6 € =)

    The funny thing, I closed the position because I thought that there is no more momentum for a move down. If I would have sticked to my Stop-Loss tactics I would be still in the game - and with a higher profit aswell.

    1. Qualification
    This does not quality the restrictions "..the chart must show the full day of the NYSE for your chosen day..that is..from 09:30 to 16:00 NY Time". But I hope it qualifies, as FDAX was mentioned.

    2. "Main points that makes you choose this instrument over another instrument"
    I didn't look at any other instrument. The reaction at a mayor resistance point proofed to be higher than any other reaction in the leg up.
    Waitinf for reduced vola to have a low risk entry.

    here is my thinking..there are 2 types of trades..

    1. short term..low risk..low reward

    2. longer term..higher risk..higher reward

    even though the entry might be the same..as you can always do both trades together..the longer you are in a trade..to more you can lose..and..the more you can win..

    what determines your risk level is the _ _ _ _ _ :)

    :wtf:
    Do I seeing this correctly:

    you sold at 4295.69,
    the postion is in a (large) drawdown,
    but you're convinced it'll hit 4288.25?!
