@ okrutny.....have a good one....

@ medici....I totally agree about LO - that's why I start before FO and many days I can hit my daily quota before LO.

I'm thinking than with the UK travel chaos volumes will be very light till the year end shinanigans start after Xmas.....spending hours a day commuting was one reason why I left the UK, now I'm a minute from an autopista link and my cruise control set to 140 clicks

My signals off my 1 min chart.....I'm cross that I missed the buy off the 6050 level at FO. I didnt take the last buy off the HL just after LO as I'm favouring the short side...mmm and that's against the rising MAs.....
Thanks for instructive chart. Mine attached.

The reason for the long at 6050 was, just as the Euro short from 4647 the other day, retracement to a level that's been a battleline over the past 24h and then given way during the Asian session. Almost always works, both in the sense that you can take the trade with that level as destination at around 6am, and then reverse at around 7am.

Quadruple reasons for short, and then calling it quits on spike down, were 00s, 50%, MR1, and almost an hour of buying.

Short on the break of the DP / 30 ema

MArket Profile shows a small increase in volume around that consolidation area, so I'm hoping that it was distribution and that we may test the support areas.....TWT

I want to hit my daily quota before 8am consistently as well, regardless of market conditions, and anything thereafter is a bonus.

Yes, London would be a nightmare if I didn't work from home...and Spain sounds like a good alternative!

Good one. Breaks of DPs out of low volatility tend to be good ones, such as the Euro short at 4630 on 15th December or, for that matter, 4336 yesterday.

My experience tells me that risk-reward on trades after things have quieted down after 9am isn't that great. But best of luck.

Consistency is what I really need to concentrate on

I closed my last short after it stalled a little above the 50 level....mm, that's a HL.....

A classic London morning, where the analysis based on experience was spot on. Nice pips banked, and pay cheque written

Thanks to all for sharing and contributing, and see you tomorrow for what will be my last trading session before Christmas.

Consistency - my number one focus area for improvement. "We are what we repeatedly do..."

Have a nice day down in warm Spain. Soon going out in foggy London for some Christmas shopping...

GM, expecting buy orders at 4244, because of 23.6 of yesterday's range and support of asian session. In cable i would expect selling at 5977, what go you think?

GM, yes it seems to be a case of first up and then down like previous days. Less sure about 5977. Already long both babies btw.
