... how did you know that "most movements are fake"?... you must be a very experienced trader... won't you mind sharing your thoughts...
This is not that I know by absolute term but through personal observation (i'm still novice in fx).
I've observed that prior London open market is usually ranging (pardon me, if I said, fake move). As you can observe today and yesterday the initial strong trend only last a few bars and than retraced back to the range.

But when the trend starts during London hour.. the move usually forms into real trend (such as yesterday's strong bear move).

... so very true, that's the reason why i prefer dancing during london open and until a little overlap with new york open...

but i do dance with asian session too... when volatiliy is good...

from my experience... when market is volatile... then just dance... don't predict the market...

remember, rigidity kills... your account that is....

and learn from your mistakes...

as i had shown you last night...

remember what i told you... even in a rangng market you can be fair with your profit... once you know how many pips range bound... then you play with a correct skew... then dance your plan according to your MO...

... did you get my drift now?

if you zoomed out your chart you can see that it's testing the previous supply/.demand zone (s/r) and i can feel the bulls is slowing down...

to feel the market's pulse... then i had to deploy short scout... when confirmed... attack mode...
