Anyone every notice that:

EUR moves most during LONDON open
USD moves most during NY open
JPY moves most during TOKYO open
AUD moves most during SYDNEY open
????

Does it not make sense then to trade EUR/JPY from Tokyo open to London close?

Does it not make sense then to trade EUR/USD from London open to NY close?

Does it not make sense then to trade AUD/USD from NY open to Sydney close?

Sleep is also important Best of luck with your new system Kevin. I'll be watching with interest. I don't think many traders realize the importance of trading the right times of day. My whole system is based off trading at the right time!

Cheers.

Hi Cory,

Thanks for stopping by, dude! Cool that you have taken times into consideration. Very curious as to how you trade it as your main basis for entry. If you do not wish to divulge, no worries, just curious.

Take care man, and come back now, ya hear?

Don't forget about the GBP/USD. This pair is traded MOSTLY from Frankfurt open to London close.

Good uptrend developing at the moment that has broken out of 1.5020. May enter on a pull back provided it looks decent enough. I had a gut feeling before I went to bed last night that the range would be broken out of so I cancelled both my straddle orders.

First trade Trailing stop hit for +5. Around where I was stopped out could have been a possible entry but the candle was to bearish so I waited. Entered again because of hesitating price at MA's. Saw a triple top so I waited to see how price would react around that level. As expected, not the greatest reaction near triple top, so I exited for another +5.

As we know, today is a USA bank holiday. Depending on what it looks like, I will either stay out completely, or take a consolidation trade or two. Right now price ranging from 1.5020 to 1.5045. Trade earlier where it bounces off of 48 MA (purple) AND 1.5020 looked like a beauty; too bad I missed it, but no worries, I needed the sleep. Going to be somewhat conservative today.

Took consolidation trade due to 1.5020 and 120 EMA being in very close proximity to each other, and price hesitating around this value. Right now in a free trade, may close out early if it doesn't bust through top MA's with confidence.

EDIT: Took +8 pips due to lack of confidence mentioned above. Yay, $100 account back into positive territory

Thought I had a good price level going at 1.5015/5020, until now. Trading a little scared, aiming for 1 pip at any sign of hesitation. AKA getting off my game plan, not very good.

Good down movement occurring at the moment. Might try to hop on given the opportunity. Account back down to $99.37.

Finally able to take a trade as per normal rules out of a consolidating market. So far 9 pips locked in, going to let it ride.

EDIT: 9 pips taken.

Thanks man! I sent you a pm.
Kevin,

How are you doing???

Hi calderone,

Sorry about my long absence here guys. I decided that short trading is a lot of time spent for little benefit, at least in my experience. There is no doubt in my mind, that had I stuck with my intended rules, I would have been profitable. I just much prefer to go out and enjoy my day with carry trades at home.

I'm contemplating continuing this thread with long-term trades. We'll see..

Until next post,

Kevin
