So, I'm back again on the DOW to see if I can get some more profits from it.. I grabbed a few profits yesterday and thought I'd give it a go today. In the past, I have found that the DOW is extremely volatile and difficult to trade. However, if I can try and trade it only when there is a break of some sort and ride it as far as until it looks like it's hit something.
So today, I was waiting for a break of 10400 which it did. I went short and for a few minutes it went above my entry point..

The chart is show above.. the upper and lower lines are at 14937 and the lower line 14844. This looks like simple short for profits.
It was.. however, for me, I didn't wait until 7am finished and my first trade was a long at 14927 which obviously ended in a loss!
The loss was 50 pips and my gain on the short was 30 pips.. totalling -20 for the day!

Today I woke up early and was rather more alert than usual. This is not a good thing necessarily when it comes to trading.. certainly not in my case. I saw that the market had consolidated from yesterday after shooting up strongly. A consolidation usually happens after any particularly large moves so rather normal.. however, the market could have easily topped here or just biding time before heading higher. I wanted to play it safe so I didn't trade...
