I usually find its around 6am GMT when price really starts moving. Whenever I have tried to trade earlier than that nothing happens, but it does seem from looking at the charts that things seem to be starting earlier. I won't though, getting up at 5am is early enough for me

Hi,
How did everyone handle the 7:30 am GMT 62ema touch on G/U? Didnt go well for me, but if someone had a decent SL, would have made plenty pips after a while.
Anyway, I came across this method this week and am trying to follow it. May I ask what is the 'dragonfly' trade and the 'aha' trade? I see references to them but haven't seen an explanation yet. Of course, I am slowly making my way through this huge thread, and I'm sure its contained within. But would appreciate an explanation nonetheless.

Hi Pippi,

Can you share with us, where did you have TP and why did you put it there?
(I'm still holding short from 10.30 GMT pin at 1h 62 EMA)
Thanks!

Sure, my first TP was yesterdays low on GU. I was also short EJ from 127.98 after the IB. I had a TP set at 127.05. If you observe EJ for some time you will see that she respects the big numbers (00 and 50) quite frequently. I like to set TP's within 5-10 pips of those if I'm not real sure where price may go.
