London close open could be helpful .. the one on the 30 min.. not the h close. the 4:30 London time close level.

Been tracking that closely recently, and finding the 5pm one much more "sticky/magnetic" than the 4:30 close. Continuing to track to get more quantifiable "data" so to speak, but...

Have you observed the opposite in the past? More respect given to 4:30?

Trading is not an exact science and worst in forex that we don't have a centralized exchange ....Why don't you try exploring market levels in "range areas" terms (e.g opening/closing ranges, S/R areas, etc)....my 2 cents.

no.. but over and under can give an edge when its crossed. the more you got pointing in a direction. the better.

Hi mate,

Well...I certainly track "range areas" through supply/demand zones (areas)...big time. Stop zones, too. 5pm London close has just been freaking me out a little...often days and weeks later, too. Quick example...

X marks Friday's London close (5pm). Small run up today stopped 0.00003 higher than that level. Coincidence? Sure...maybe. But I see the same coincidence playing out very often...even well into the future.

So that is why I'm specifically tracking it a lot at the moment, but...

Can you give me an example of what you mean by "opening/closing ranges?"

Last week I was dropping a line at 4:30 AND 5:00pm London close...and treating the band as a mofu!

I need to take a look again, because it was interesting.

  1. 3:35 PM Heading into this week's rate decisions, swaps are pricing a 36% chance of a rate cut from the ECB (Thursday), a 15% chance for the RBA (Tuesday), and a 8% chance for the BoE (Thursday), notes John Kicklighter. The ECB chance seems low given the rush last week of forecasters expecting a cut. The BoE may not move on rates, but additional QE is very much on the table. 3 Comments

  2. 2:58 PM One byproduct of the EU debt crisis is an overworked, overburdened staff at the ECB, finds IPSO, the labor union to about 40% of ECB employees. It makes for "serious potential operational risk for the (central bank)," says IPSO President Marius Mager.
