Notes
Gold
- Did not trade. There was a Failed Auction but did not like the profit target and M30 VWAP just below.
DAX
- IB traded higher with A closing above VAH. Price traded above VAH but did not break IB. M15 Bear Engulf close below M30/M15 QHi
- Trying a short 15618.10 SL 15658.10 TP 15579.53 (1R)
- Waited for a transition to M30 Bear Engulf closing within value. This did not come so I closed the trade manually for ‑0.3R expecting a price to hold higher for now.
