scale down to the 15m as the 1h approaches the 62ema. It's a great one to trade, but do it sensibly like with everything else.

someone on here gave me this link

i think you wanna be up about 8pm in time to analyse and prepare yourself for a good session
I'm assuming 8 pm isn't GMT, for me, that would be 1 hour from now.

Let's try it another way, for me, according to FF, Tokyo opens in 6 hours. When, before the tokyo open, would you want to be looking at your charts?

I start looking 1.5 hrs before tokyo open ..Sometimes it will start a slow trade that builds with momentum as it gets closer to the open .. You will see..

i did as it hit it

it EO's favourite, its fast becoming mine too
I'm not to trusting of it as of late without PA on the lower time frame to confirm. She's been blasting through it without regard as of late. I'm short from 4680 and I've taken profit as well and covered. We could see 456x before the end of the next h1.

I start looking for my first Asian trade as of the close of the US Session for the next 2 1/2 hours.

dont mix up GMT and BST, on our current BST, tokyo opens midnight, personally i would want to set my alarm 3 hours before it opened, 9pm for us(8pm GMT)
for me 3 hours is enough to get up, showered, fed and dog walked, then no distractions before i sit down like Ken says, 90 mins before starting

Turtle and I were talking about it a couple of weekends ago. She's just not bouncing like she use to off the h1 62ema. If I get solid 15m pa to confirm it, I'll take it, but I tried one last week that burned my ass as well. Just confirms that I'll wait for the confirmation.

Last week was by far the worst trading week of my life. I couldn't pick the winner of a one horse race. By the time Friday rolled around I was ready to close my trading account and take up another hobby.
