๏ปฟThe bearish momentum is confirmed! Price has decisively broken out below the dynamic support line provided by the Triangular Moving Average, signaling a potential shift in momentum.
๐ Asset: GER40 "GERMANY 40"
๐ฏ Type: Swing Trade (Bearish)
โ Confirmation: TMA Dynamic Support Breakout.
๐ฏ ENTRY STRATEGY: THE "THIEF" LAYER METHOD
We don't chase the marketโwe set strategic traps. This is the core of the "Thief" strategy: using multiple limit orders to layer into a position for a better average entry.
โ๏ธ Method: Multiple Sell Limit Orders (Layering)
๐งฉ Proposed Entry Layers:
Layer 1: Sell Limit @ 24,100
Layer 2: Sell Limit @ 24,050
Layer 3: Sell Limit @ 24,000
๐ก Pro Tip: Feel free to increase or adjust these limit layers based on your own analysis and risk tolerance!
๐จ RISK MANAGEMENT: THE ESCAPE PLAN
๐ Stop Loss (The Getaway Car): A logical "Thief Style" stop loss can be placed at 24,250. A move above this level invalidates the bearish structure.
๐ฏ Take Profit (The Loot): Our primary target is 23,700. This area has a strong confluence of:
The Triangular Moving Average acting as dynamic resistance.
Potential oversold conditions and bull traps.
Time to escape with the profits!
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT OG NOTE: Dear Ladies & Gentleman (Thief OG's), I am NOT recommending you set only my SL or TP. It is YOUR own choice. You can make money then take money at your own risk. Manage your trades responsibly!
๐ RELATED PAIRS & KEY CORRELATIONS
A master thief always scouts the entire area. Keep these correlated assets on your watchlist:
USDX (U.S. Dollar Index): A strengthening dollar can often pressure European equity indices like the DAX.
EURUSD: The DAX is highly sensitive to Euro movements. A weak Euro can be a double-edged sword, but a breakdown here often aligns with broader risk-off sentiment.
SPX (S&P 500): The DAX has a strong positive correlation with U.S. markets. A sell-off on Wall Street is likely to reverberate in Frankfurt.
