Brilliant Basics - Part 5: Pre-Trade ChecklistWelcome to the fifth and final instalment of our Brilliant Basics series. Here, we provide you with a powerful Pre-Trade Checklist that can be applied to any trading strategy on any timeframe. Pre-Trade Checklist: A Platform For Success Our Pre-Trade Checklist involves asking yourself five simple yet crucial questions before committing your hard-earned money to the market. These questions cover the fundamentals of good trading, emphasising psychological discipline, risk management, and trade management. 1. Does your trade REALLY match your entry criteria? • This may sound obvious, but before entering your trade, it is essential that you triple check if the trade matches your entry criteria. The emotional rollercoaster of trading often starts at the inception of a trade idea. It’s easy to become attached to a trade that doesn’t actually meet your trading plan. Example: Imagine you’re a momentum trader who has been patiently waiting for a stock to break out from a wedge pattern for weeks. Your trade plan clearly states that you must wait for a close above the breakout zone on the daily chart before entering. On the day the breakout finally occurs, your excitement takes over, and you decide to break your entry criteria "just this once" because the breakout was moving so fast. Regardless of the outcome, the "just this once" mentality will prevent you from achieving consistency in your trading. Key Takeaway: Good trading hinges on consistently applying your edge across a large dataset. Therefore, ensure your trade strictly aligns with your predefined entry criteria. 2. Have you checked the economic calendar? • Always check the economic calendar before entering a trade. Scheduled news events like earnings announcements or central bank policy statements can trigger significant volatility. While some strategies may thrive on volatility, effective risk management requires awareness of potential market-moving events. Example: Suppose you’re trading EUR/USD. Without checking the economic calendar, you might miss an upcoming ECB meeting that could drastically impact the pair’s movement, causing unexpected volatility and potential losses. Key Takeaway: Serious traders prioritise risk management and should never overlook scheduled economic events that could impact their trades. 3. Where will you exit if you’re wrong? • Pre-trade enthusiasm often leads to us underweighting the potential to be wrong. If you know exactly where you are getting out of the market if the trade goes wrong, you are already miles ahead of most retail traders. There are two elements to this question: A. Stop Placement: This is an essential hard line in the sand and a stop should be placed that allows for market noise and confirms that your initial trade thesis is wrong. B. Pattern Failure: The second, more subjective element, is failure of pattern or catalyst behind the trade prior to the market hitting the stop. Example: Imagine you’re a swing trader buying a breakout from a descending channel. You place your stop loss below the nearest swing low. The market breaks higher but then retreats back below the descending channel. The breakout pattern, which was the catalyst behind the trade, has failed, but you’re still in the trade. Do you wait and hope for the trade to turn around before your stop is triggered, or do you take a proactive approach and close the trade on pattern failure? Key Takeaway: Exiting on pattern failure prior to your stop can help to reduce the size of your average loser and therefore boost your trading edge. 4. Have you adjusted your position size? • Consistency in position sizing is key to trading success. Adjust your position size according to your risk management strategy—whether fixed monetary amounts per trade or a percentage of your total account size. Example: Imagine you are a swing trader who risks £100 per trade and places a stop loss below a key swing low. Trade A has a stop loss of 100 points, and Trade B has a stop loss of 50 points. To ensure each trade has consistent monetary risk of £100, you risk £1 per point on Trade A and £2 per point on Trade B. Key Takeaway: Equal weighting of trades ensures that your edge is applied consistently over time, regardless of market conditions or trade outcomes. 5. Where will you exit if you’re right? • Planning your exit strategy before entering a trade is crucial for consistent trading performance. Avoid impulsive decisions influenced by profit-induced dopamine rushes. Example: You’ve entered a short position on Tesla (TSLA) after identifying a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern. You plan to take profits at the next major support level. By setting this target in advance, you avoid the temptation to exit prematurely as the stock begins to fall. Key Takeaway: Determine your profit-taking strategy—whether exiting at key support/resistance levels, taking partial profits, or trailing stops to capture potential further gains. Summary: Before entering a trade ask yourself the following five questions: 1. Does your trade REALLY match your entry criteria? 2. Have you checked the economic calendar? 3. Where will you exit if you’re wrong? 4. Have you adjusted your position size? 5. Where will you exit if you’re right? These simple questions, if answered honestly and consistently have the potential to make a real positive impact on your trading regardless of you style or experience.

DAX ANALYSIS 19/06/2024DAX chart you provided, let's break down the key components visible in the chart: Volume: The volume is indicated at the bottom of the chart. The volume bars show trading activity, with higher bars representing higher trading volumes. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): There are two VWAP lines on the chart: one for the week and one overall. The weekly VWAP is shown at 18,081.10 and the overall VWAP at 18,158.83. VWAP is used to assess the average price a security has traded at based on both volume and price. Liquidity Heatmap: The green and red zones on the chart represent liquidity zones. Red zones indicate areas of higher selling interest (resistance), while green zones indicate areas of higher buying interest (support). Resistance and Support Levels: The chart has marked key resistance and support levels with blue and red lines. Resistance is around 18,500 and support is around 17,800. Price Action: The current price is 18,123.58, indicating a recent downward trend followed by a consolidation phase near the support level. Bollinger Bands: The orange lines around the price represent Bollinger Bands, which measure market volatility and are used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The bands are relatively tight, indicating reduced volatility. Analysis and Commentary Bearish Trend with Potential Reversal: The DAX has experienced a recent bearish trend, as evidenced by the declining price action. The price is currently consolidating near a key support level around 18,000. Resistance Levels: The price is facing resistance around 18,500. If the price breaks above this level, it could signal a potential reversal or recovery from the recent downtrend. Volume Insights: The volume is crucial in confirming price movements. The recent consolidation phase near the support level has been accompanied by relatively lower volume, indicating reduced selling pressure. Support Levels: The key support levels are around 18,000 and 17,800. These levels could provide strong buying opportunities if the price holds above them. Bollinger Bands: The tight Bollinger Bands indicate reduced volatility. A significant price movement (breakout or breakdown) could be expected once the bands start to widen. Recommendations For Long Positions: Consider entering long positions if the price breaks above the resistance level at 18,500 with increased volume. This could indicate a potential reversal and a bullish trend. Setting stop-loss orders just below the current support levels (around 17,800) can help manage risk. For Short Positions: Short positions could be considered if the price fails to break above the resistance level and shows signs of further decline. Tight stops should be placed just above the resistance levels. For New Positions: Monitoring the price action near the current consolidation phase is crucial. Entering positions based on the breakout direction (either above 18,500 for longs or below 18,000 for shorts) with confirming volume can be a strategic approach.

2024-06-18 - a daily price action after hour update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. overall market comment Indexes had their expected trading range price action today. Mostly what happens after huge days. Markets are in balance here, which is good for the bulls. Commodities also all green today. Oil is grinding to 81/82 while Gold is moving sideways under the daily 20ema. I expect Oil to pull back soon and my preferred path for Gold is a break below the triangle and 2300 for another big leg down. dax comment: Well, what did we learn today? Not much tbh. It’s still a bear flag and bears keeping it below 18200, which is bearish. My target was at least 18300 for the bulls. Daily ema is at 18450 and that’s also where the bull trend line is for a retest of the breakout. All good targets above but for now, bears are in full control. Bulls need a good 1h bar close above 18200 for higher prices. You won’t find many new info’s below compared to yesterday. current market cycle: probably bear trend if the pullback stays under 18300/18360 key levels: 18000 - 18400 bull case: Bulls need a good 1h bar close above 18200 for higher prices. Not much more magic to it. If we trade below 18080, we test 18000 again. Invalidation is below 18080. bear case: Bears are finding acceptance below 18200, which is very bearish. They are in full control and probably letting the daily ema come closer to attract new bears for another leg below 18000. Invalidation is above 18360. short term: neutral. Market is in balance here until breakout above 18200 or below 18080 medium-long term: My long term outlook stays bearish and I expect at least a -20% correction in 2024. Medium term is 17100 while I think we can touch the big bull trend line starting 2022-10 around 16700 in 2024. —unchanged current swing trade: None trade of the day: Yeah good question. So the open of the week was 18098 and y close was 18084. Good support area for longs. So buying the double bottom bar 33 + 49 was reasonable. Short from the open was also good because it was too strong to not get short and the upper bull channel line held.

#202425 - a weekly price action market recap and outlook - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. dax cfd Quote from last week: comment: Market in total balance inside key levels. It’s the 4th consecutive bear week but we are still above the midpoint of the first week of May where dax gained 800 points. This selling is as weak as it gets and that’s why another leg up is much more likely than an acceleration to the downside. We are oscillating around the daily 20ema at 18600 and right at the bull trend line from January. Market is in breakout mode and will have it next week. Odds favor the bulls but I wait for confirmation after US CPI and FOMC. comment: Bears finally did it. They broke to the downside when the higher probability trade was bullish. They actually broke below the expanding triangle which held for 4 weeks and sliced through the bull trend line that began 2022-10-03. For the dax which made 60.69% in that time, to just slice through that line, is something unusual to say the least. Is it now time to get uber bearish? I don’t think so. News outlets will tell you it’s because of eurozone fear and elections and blablabla. We are 5% from the ath. That’s a small pull-back to the neckline and the big 18000 support. Entering new shorts down here is as bad of a trade as you can come up with. current market cycle: trading range - go look at the monthly chart. It’s a clear 4 month trading range. key levels: small range 17600 / 18400 bull case: Bulls see it as a small pullback and a sell vacuum on Friday to the big round support 18000. They want to create the same reversal as they did on 2024-04-19 with a 2% up day. The pullback in late March and April was 13 days long while we are in a 21 day long pullback. Bulls also argue that this is the first touch of the weekly 20ema since 2023-11 when we sliced through and have not touched it once since. Trends tend to test the extreme after the trend line is broken. I have absolutely no confidence in the bears to crash from here on, without at least a retest of the bull trend line at around 18300. If bears manage to close the gap to 17100, I am obviously wrong. Invalidation is below 17550. bear case: Big bear surprise on Thursday and Friday. The bull bar on Wednesday was strong enough in an overall max bullish market to break to the upside. They managed to break below two support trend lines. Now the important questions is, was this just a sell vacuum test to find new buyers or are we actually in a decent down turn to below 17000? No one knows. We are right an my neckline 18000 and last time we got here, we reversed up for a new ath. You simply can’t get bearish at these lows when they have been big support the last time. Could you hold onto existing shorts from above 18100 and see if we sell further to retest 17600? Absolutely. If the momentum is there again next week, that’s a reasonable target to the downside. I do think if bears can not hold it below 18160, they give up for a bigger pullback to at least 18300 and there it’s do or die for the bulls again. Invalidation is a daily close above 18300. outlook last week: “Still in favor of the bulls, unless bears get a strong daily close below 18400. Retest of 19000 is expected. If we can’t get it before CPI & FOMC and CPI comes in hot, I will go big on shorts for at least 18000 over the next 1-3 weeks.” → Last Sunday we traded 18572 and now we are at 18016. Bad bullish outlook but I gave you the clear warning that if bears would get a good daily close below 18400, I’d go big on shorts for 18000 and that’s exactly what we hit. short term: Neutral. Please read on so you know why and how I will trade it. So bears are in control. Below all ema and really big red bars and all red bars for 5 weeks. I’m still not shorting right at 18000. That’s insane. Can we go lower on momentum to 17600? Yes. Will I short it and call it in my tradingroom? Bet. R:R here is on the bull side if they build buying pressure and get follow through. Until all of that I am neutral. medium-long term: 17000 over the next 3-6 Months and when we get there, I update again. current swing trade: Caught a big swing for 300 points down to 18000 as I wrote in my last weeks outlook. Chart update: Two paths ahead, bullish one is favored when bears step aside here at 18000 and bulls build buying pressure. If green path plays out, I expect this to be the right shoulder and that would be a decent place to sell everything (yes, your dog and granny too) to short this to freaking hell.
