Starting to consolidate after a big move. Another hour or two in that range would be good.

Right, I'm off for now. More than happy to have bagged a Friday like that.

Trade well, all who hang around - and as Billy said...NFP .

Catch y'all later.

Good idea to stay away for a day or two. No point chasing losses.

Hi All !

Was a tough week with many obligations and almost no screen time.
Today no other things to do, enough sleep and already with one foot in the weekend I decided to scalp from 8-11 GMT+1.
If I could duplicate a day like this three out of four days ... oh well itīs just demo and so probably worth nothing to zero.

Some smart trader told me if I gonna scalp and watch the charts the whole day it will fry my brain.
Three hours didnīt fry it but looking in the mirror ...

Welcome to the club. There's no going back now!

08:59 was a perfect entry off the rejection. Would have made sense to add-in there as well. Can I ask why you didn't take that one?

No criticism, just genuinely interested.

Lots of fun tomorrow at 13.30 with NFP. ADP on Wednesday worse than expected - usually a good indicator of where NFP will hit. Add in the CAD news ...
And so it followed.

I would also listen attentively to your criticism, period!

I didnīt take the 08:59 because I already had 3 orders running and the ticks between 08:58 and 08:59 turned price to a level where I already thought the trade went sour.

Iīll add a 5 tick chart which I did NOT watch but it shows what my eyes saw within 60 seconds.

All in all I was lucky .... because 1 pip lower and I would have closed all positions just to see price running up 20 pips from my entries

EDIT: The orange arrow points to the last order ... premature at best ... being honest I double clicked and so this order was closed as well

Claudia,

are you making any adjustments to the AJ and EJ time periods now that NY close/open will be 1 hour earlier but the Tokyo open will remain the same?

I know you don't trade AJ at the start of the week (Sunday for you, Monday for me), but what about EJ?

Also have you (or Lem or Billy for that matter) got any recommendations for a time slot for trading gold (XAUUSD), please?

(BTW the EA again played up last night on the GER30 - wrong TP set and a SL set when none was specified. Not complaining just pointing out, I just trade GER30 manually now)

Hi

Times - will always be NY close to Tokyo open so will adjust if needed.

AJ/EJ trade exactly the same ignoring Sunday.

XU I don't know the answer. Will have a look and give some feedback next week.

GER30 is a strange one. I have problems with it too sometimes doesn't take trades.

I know you're not complaining and appreciate the input.

Got this answer for you.

If you are trading spreads, then 11:00 am to 4 pm IST as the volatility is comparatively lower. If you are trading outright gold, then major volatility is seen between 6 pm to 7:30 pm IST as US markets open and major US economic indicators are revealed.
