Have set the same trade. I'm just out of the trade.
The 2 point and below index entry. A picture book entry.

PS: Yesterday was the day for Nasdaq

2nd XARD counter trend trade. Fingers crossed.

I haven't closed half or 2/3 for over a year.
I've watched too many Tom Hougaard videos for that
There will definitely be the next chance for a new trade.

I don't know why i do it, I guess it's the "gambler" side of me.

Did you catch us30? The run up was so fast. When i saw it it was already running halfway up.

Anyway i am now watching xauusd.

UPDATE on xauusd : nice run up

My daily schedule for trading I have set (mostly):
London and German open: German DAX
1h 30min before New York open: DJ and Nas.
It is important to have a routine in trading.

I trade the Asian session on JPN225 (& HK50) every day. This morning I got in on M5 2nd dot near the high and blitzed my target in the first 20 minutes. It seems odd that the Asian session is so volatile and the London is much less active.

Hi XXXX,

I was asleep when that happened. The opening of the aus market is just too early for me.

That entry that you took was a beaut. One thing i notice is, you mentioned a 2nd dot on the M5. Looking back at my charts, my m5 does not show any 2nd dots. May i know if you are using a different semafor settings? Maybe it's just the broker. Thanks

Final trade for the week.
Nice classic XARD 2nd dot and index entry. Tq xard777 !!!!!!

I am using a different setup as per my thread, been using the same settings for well over a year. EXTDEPTH is 13 and 36 which seems to work well on JPN225. Japan opens at 10AM local time for me which suits me perfectly. It would be nice to trade US session but that opens at 11:30PM local time and I need my sleep.
