Fading opening spikes into levels

< 1 min read

To do these trades, I need to be fast.

Considering Friday’s gains and the ON bullishness, a buy into the futures close at the open is an OK trade idea – except that there were so many levels below around the 10800 level.

After such a move as Friday – +3.4% – the Dax can easily just keep going but today, considering the irresistable number of orders would most likely be waiting below at the Friday’s high, the BNR and a couple of fibs, a reversal at 10807 was – on reflection – extremely unlikley.

The first trade was at the futures gap but it never went into profit.
The second trade was a much better idea – a fade of the ex-gap. But my entry was late and 5pts above the actual level. This trade made it to 1.4R but I left it open as I was hoping for a retest and bounce off Friday’s high.
