This is what I meant with some trade you have to leave at 1PM. Signals change. But this will come back again up.

Yeah its all learning. I dont have problems with entries, last night I even went back over the picks and confirmed with FIBS, the purple and yellow lines were pretty much bang on with FIBs.

Its the timing and relation to different sessions (London, US, Asia)I need to get my head around.

You need to track your signal. Try to find out more about the trade setup combined with signal and your time of exit. Try to scan and find out the characteristics of different signals. How long they last in between the time it starts the time it ends.

let's say for example the current sell we in now, the signal for sell starts around 3PM. This sell will last around 3PM - London open. Between this window time frame. Make sure you take your profit and don't stay till London open. In other words, close the trade position before London opens.

Lets take this example.
You entered for a bounce trade.
You entered at the green zone (first arrow facing UP)
The market went up about 8 pips in profit then it took a dive.
At the lowest point you add more positions (red stars) but this time you come out where you entered (first arrow facing up) knowing that this trade is no longer a bounce trade.
This way you managed your trade well and in profit

What if you opened a position at 5pm after London shut, would this then last from 5pm - US open next day or would it still be London Open next day?

What if it wasnt for this particular trade. And you entered at 5pm or even Asia open, would rule still apply be out next day by London Open?

if you entered at Asian open, normally the signal is usually of NY open and it should last till London open. If the signal started at Asian open, it normally last the whole day, sometimes till NY close.

So if you saw a Long oppportunity/signal at NY open you wouldnt take the trade there and then, you would wait until Asia open to make sure its valid and then enter?
If it was me and reached my entry price, I would go in guns blazing there and then :-)
For example the Oil trade today, i would of usually have gone straight into that. And had stops below, but lower than where I think the market may take it to trigger peoples stops, before taking it back up again.

That's why I said, based on the signal, you need to track it over time and get used to the type of trade you dealing with. Usually a trade setup has it's own characteristics. This will include the best entry price, time it lasts and the exit price. Most traders who are successful master all this sort of conditions. They simply don't sit on one trade and let it run over night. It might work for few days or weeks, but in the long run, it will rinse your account.

So take USDSGD today.
I went short as it was just after London opened and hit the planned target for entry (purple line). You went short on the second spike up at the second red arrow.
What did you see that said it was going higher to that level for entry, why didnt you take the trade on London open?
