Actually, yes and no as you spotted the discrepancy in the charts.

I posted this to try to clarify which chart is correct with Paulus as we are two bars off.

The start bars should be exactly the same no matter where on the planet you are as this is the Tokyo session.
Of course the time will be different but the bars must be the same.

Now, we are throwing the proverbial spanner in the works.

My impression is this, the Asian open, opens with the same bar anywhere on the planet. The bar itself cannot be different. If it is different than the open at 9 am Tokyo time, then it is not the Asian open.

Now, Paulus may have it right,I may be wrong or we may both be wrong.
But, the fact that I switched my computer on at just before 11 am Tokyo time and see 2 bars on the chart with the third one opening seconds later, leads me to think my chart is correct.


OK here is my live account chart.
This is a Java chart and today's and yersterday's open look exactly the same.

Ive always had this problem in my trading synchronizing charts it can be a head ache

Im leaving mine for now,I mainly went with the London Forex Rush indicators with the MIG meta trader plateform which he recomends as its on the correct server settings.I have then adjusted the indicators as per the manual and thats how I got the settings

I will have a play and get back to you on this


The EURJPY signal closed with a loss of some 5 pips although it broke down nicely in the Asian session to hit the old target..but hey ho no good for us.

GBP/USD was a good runner. I was a bit cautious with that Major Reversal where it is.

Yes, Tokyo was still open but it was too good an opportunity to miss and the signs were right.
