I am back in front of my screens briefly this morning ahead of our Christmas holiday so any trades I take will be detailed below. I will be back here in the New Year, probably around the 7th of January but my daily “Trading-Ideas” emails will continue this week.

08:00am:  Nothing to report so far on my collection of favourite charts.

09:25am:  Price on DAX-30 may trigger a trade if it rises soon.

09:35am:  Now in a ‘long’ DAX-30 position on the 15-min chart. It’s a Master-The-Trend Strategy-B set-up with a 28 pip stop loss which is slightly higher than normal but it’s indicative of today’s volatility.

11:20am:   The trade is doing ok, it has found some support at the 10EMA so I am going to hang on a bit longer.

11:45am:    I have closed off my DAX position with a +69 pip profit.

11:50am:    Happy with the score so far today so I am switching off my charts now and getting ready for the holiday.  I have only had 5 days of trading in December due to various other projects I’ve had around the house but I have managed +202 pips for the month.
