Trading Day 5

DAX
The DAX had an inside day yesterday. Very small range, and no upside bias. Given the pending election, I'm assuming range trading for today



The Daily Trend  is UP, Hourly trend  is SELL

Other

Nikkei - Currently flat 0.03%- BOJ just announced to keep loose monetary policy, could have an effect (positive if market likes it, negative if disappointed)
Hang Seng - Very Stribg +1,36% - this might be positive for the DAX, positive


Currencies
EURUSD: 1.0966, flat , no impact


Agenda
Europe - Nothing

US Session - ISM Manufacturing at 15pm, should be out by then


STRATEGY FOR TODAY
Not much will happen today as bank holiday in several countries. Favor a small recovery to the upside as the big crash failed yesterday.

Strategy: Favor upside buy play the range

Monitor very carefully EURUSD and Nikkei for further strenght and open short position

Ticket Size: 10
Number of Tickets: Max 2
Direction: Only Long
Target: 190 CHF, Max 210CHF


-------------------------------------
Results
This was borderline....
Very strong opening based on China data, waited for 9 o clock, entered a long position, went down, then entered again lond position 25 pips down. Market recovered, managed to get out for 250CHF.
All in all 45 minutes in the market


5 Minutes later it crashed, now it's a 10540
Lesson: Should have been more careful with longing. And not doubled down.
Market is very nervous this days, we could see several other lows as its not clear Hillary will win
Sniper approach, fade the sell-offs near resistance levels.

Day 8 - Continue

I had a very succesfull day yesterday in keeping all goals.

Today I will have to continue on this path and especially insist on eating only for 8 hours

• No alcohol
• No bread, sweets
• No Cola Light
• Eat 8 hours (12pm-8pm or later)
• Apply job Sarasin - Done
• Suna Tata

Day 7 - Intermittent Fasting

I will try this week a new nutrition plan. As of Monday, I feel much better comparted to the week before, 7 days sober speak for themselves.
This week, important will be following facts that have to be followed 100%

1. No alcohol
2. Follow Trade plan
3. No Cola Light

-Habits are maturing and I hope to get them done


4. No sweets
5. No bread




1 New habit. Let's see how it plays out. If too nervous will have to let it be


6. Eat only for eight hours a day.








For today, I will start eating probably at 11:45, then until 19:45. Should work.


So today:

• Follow trade plan - DONE
• No alcohol
• No Cola Light
• No Sweets
• No bread
• Food window 11:45-19:45

Trading Day 4

DAX



On Friday the DAX first went 100 pips down, then recovered all losses and went in plus, dragged by the DOW. Lat during the afternoon, the FBO announced reopining of the Clinton case, markets plunged and post-closing the DAX dropped to 10650.
I

The Daily Trend  is UP, Hourly trend  is STRONG SELL

Other

Nikkei - Currently slightly negative -0.03%- but about the same the DAX fell so we might say no influence
Hang Seng - Slightly Weak, -0,33% - this might be slightly negative for the DAX, negative


Currencies
EURUSD: 1.0962, +0.86%, impact on the downside

Agenda
Europe - Retail Sales, CPIs, orange, to be monitored

US Session - Nothing


STRATEGY FOR TODAY
Friday there was strenght in the market, then the fear took over. My intuition will be that the DAX will be weak on Monday and eventually will recover in the afternoon if the US sees the FBI case subsiding.
Strategy: Favor downside, eventually long if recovery is sustained
Monitor very carefully EURUSD for further strenght and open short position

Ticket Size: 3
Number of Tickets: Max 2
Direction: Short/Long on recoveries
Target: 68 CHF, Max 76CHF


-------------------------------------
Results


I entered 09:10 with one short position. It went 10 pips down, below 10650 to 10640. However, Eurostoxx, CAC40, all were stronger than the DAX. I decided to open a second position. Immediately it went in my direction and I exited the 2 positions after 1 minute. Overall I made 100 CHF. Challenge for today will be to stay out of the market

Day 6 - Introducem lipsa paine

Ieri a fost greu, probabil din cauza lipsei alcoolului am avut o zi extrem de tensionata, am cam urlat la multa lume. Azi insa  e mai bine, sunt linistit. Va trece si perioada asta.
Azi voi introduce penultima schimbare, nu voi mai manca sandwichuri
Pentru astazi

1. No alc, nici macar sauser
2. No sweets
3. No bread
4. Sunat tata

Day 5

Astazi noapte a fost greu, am avut o indigestie.
Pentru azi, important e fara alcool si fara cola light. In rest va fi dificil cu 2 meetinguri si bilaterala cu Mike Gysi.
Dupa ce am reusit sa iau din piata 180 de franci si la ora 09:00 eram gata, in continuare va trebui sa ma abtin.
Va fi prima vineri fara alcool de mai mult de o luna.

Trading Day 3

DAX


Yesterday the DAX was totally undecided and finished by going down, dragged by the US markets

The Daily Trend  is UP, Hourly trend  is down

Hourly Trend, Daily Trend is SELL

Other

Nikkei - Currently strong 0.46% - but about the same the DAX fell so we might say no influence
Hang Seng - Slightly Weak, -0,3% - this might be slightly negative for the DAX, negative


Currencies
EURUSD: 1.0906, +0.06%, flat, no impact

Agenda
Europe - CPIs, not major
US Session - Advance GDP


STRATEGY FOR TODAY
There seems to be some weakness in the market, range trade with a favor to the downside. Buy into recoveries with tight Stop losses and sell into rallies.
The US has lost now 3 sessions in a row, there is overall weakness in the market. Without the US, the DAX won't be able to show too much stamina.
Monitor very carefully EURUSD and trade in the other direction.

Ticket Size: 3
Number of Tickets: Max 2
Direction: Short
Target: 64 CHF, Max 72CHF


-------------------------------------
Results
At 08:20 there was weakness in all markets. On the 10minutes chart in the DAX the past 7 ticks were negative
I put a 3contracts short at 10880, (open was at 10890). Maximum in minus it went up to 10886.
Big surprise, at the start of the session it fell like a rock to 10820. I managed to get out at 10827.
The aggressiveness of the move makes me think further lows are in play, but I will refrain from today as I managed to achieve a 5.4% increase on the portfolio.

Trading Day 2

DAX


After an intenst fall and much weakness the DAX recovered in the US session then hovered over 10600.
The Daily Trend  is UP, Hourly trend  I would say UP to Flat

Hourly Trend, Daily Trend is STRONG BUY

Other

Nikkei - Currently weak, -0.46% - but about the same the DAX fell so we might say no influence
Hang Seng - Very Weak, -1.25% - this might be slightly negative for the DAX, negative


Currencies
EURUSD: 1.0898, -0.06%, flat, no impact

Agenda
US Session - Unemployment Claims + Core Durable Reports - Large Impat

STRATEGY FOR TODAY
Yesterday DAX recovered driven by the DOW. DAX is strong these days. I have to carefully monitor if the strength pertains and if yes, DO ONLY LONGS

Ticket Size: 3
Number of Tickets: Max 2
Direction: LONG
Target: 62 CHF, Max 70CHF




-------------------------------------
Results
First candle in pre-market was a deep red, then indexes started to climb
Got the chance and after the 10 minutes confirmation candle, and checking no negative news and that the ES is less in minus than DAX entered long
Exit 08:50 at + 22 pips, 70CHF
Day target achieved, now on the sidelines (challenge for today)

Day 4 No Cola Light

Azi voi introduce o schimbare majora pentru sanatatea mea, voi renunta la Cola Light.
In consecinta am trei aspecte pe care le voi urmari cu strictete in urmatoarele doua saptamani:

• Fara alcohol - strict
• Fara dulciuri si Cola Light - pe cat posibil

In rest, azi m-am trezit la 06, e un lucru pozitiv, am reusit sa recuperez ce aveam de facut pentru Grünbichler. 

Sunt a doua zi de trading e mega-important pentru viitorul meu sa fac asta cu cap. Tzelul e de a castiga 60 de CHF dar si de a respecta toate regulile

Tradind Day 1

Today is my first day of trading.
I have created an account 2017
Following rules have to be followed:
Ticket Size: Max Account Nbr/1000; so for 10k CHF 10
Number of trades: Max 2
Daily Target: 2% then out and stay out of the market
Payouts: Everything exceeding 100k, nothing until then


Every day a written analysis of the long/short potential. The ticket size and daily cash target will be written down.
Then trade accordingly.
Most important is to not get greedy. If account is over 2% up, stop trading.


End of day lessons learned will be written.


Lesson 1
The DAX fell today as Apple  missed bigtime (-7% in the US, -30% in China). I went in at the support of 10700 after the Support rejected, and went out when support was breached.
Profit for the day: 70USD (2.2%). No more trades today.

Day 3 No Sweets

Azi, in afara de a nu consuma alc, voi incerca sa nu mai atac aparatul de bonboane
In afara de asta trebuie sa fac urmatoarele:

• Anmeldui Schnupperkurs
• Platesc factura visa
• Cumpar bilete Ticketcorner
• Trading mit max 3 and 2 positions, get out when 20 pips and stop

Day 2 without alc

Am avut un weekend in care in fiecare seara am intercut limita. Rezultatul a fost ca a revenit depresia si somnul a fost teribil. In fiecare noapte m-am trezit la 3 dimineata, sunt zombie si cu o energie ce se apropie de 0
Am decis sa nu mai beau, sa-mi revin. Voi fi un alc trocken. Azi e a doua zi si deja caut tot felul de subterfugii sa deschid un vin rosu diseara. Deci pentru azi challengul va fi sa nu o fac.
In rest, ieri am fost la CS; la interviu pt PE investment manager. Interviu perfect, organizatie mare, minciuna de-a mea si mai mare cum ca a-si lucra inca la LGT: Curios cum se va dezvolta. Intuitia mea e ca asta a fost, nici nu voi ajunge in etapa a doua

Challenge for today is to restart the jogging habit, now that my tendonitis is giving me a break.
Also I will adhere to the strict no-alcohol policy.
End of second week at Six, little to do and much freedom. This is good life.
Cheers

• Wake up early

Todays chores

I'm on my second week at SIX and getting up to speed.

For today:

• No alcohol
• Embellish SharePoint site
• Talk to the Biel guys
• Work TMS at least 1 hour
•
