hmm I found the reverse where NY usually sets the tone but during overlap period. Tops and bottoms are set here.. while london follows the next day. Esp in gold it shows that NY is king because of the manipulation by JPM etc
- like ping-pong with volume/price - the main thing is - there is a lot to work with and many different strategies can be extrapolated from PA depending on perspective

Here's my problem with LO-range on that specific chart. the hourly candle was a doji, followed by a bullish engulfing candle resulting in a serious drop... I would have bitten my tongue off for longing into that, who would do it without a pullback?

I don't argue your valid points about London, it just doesn't help me as much as I'd like it to, yet.
Ahhh nop.... we are talking about 3 different things at the same time. One is London and timing that's the one I am referring (and I think you agree with me on that part).

However, knowing about timing will not give you either the direction of the markets (second thing you are mentioning), neither will help you with the technicalities on how to pull the trigger in your system (the third one that I think is bothering you the most).

On the second issue, direction, It is useless to talk about that because is your and only your trading plan. And from what I know and see is very TA solid one. Why that mofu or how that mid, etc is all for you...I can give you my opinion but I think you don't need it as you are more than proficient with your trading plan...

On the technicalities on how to pull the trigger, third issue ".... hourly candle was a doji, followed by a bullish engulfing candle resulting in a serious drop...." I just see the most common London shake out (mini trap of weak hands, 5 minuters and blind pivot traders, etc etc ) on rejection of H4 highs to test daily Support after last day breach to HH in H4, etc ... I hope you get my point

....the point is not in my technicalities either is that your concerns in this specific issue should be addressed at these level (with whatever tools) and they are not related neither to timing with London nor with market Direction.

In simple words, if you "know" direction and you know "when" to look for a trigger, the final technicality of waiting for a pullback on a doji, etc etc becomes irrelevant ...you could just put a M1 stochastic crossover and it would have been a winner....

Reading candles and knowing direction before move happens H will also give you another chink in the armour

Take a step back and look at the candles and ask yourself the following question "how do big forex market movers all over the world know at the same time when a move is on and go for it". Signalling system perhaps

I get up, when London is done with that bullshitting misleading people having my intended trades set as pendings...

I don't have the ability yet to create what Sisse does, when he posts charts. That is beyond me yet and still... I need an indicator that I don't even understand.

I have a long way to go, still...

and I said ...forget about my charts/TA comments but my 2 cents is don't wait that late as early bird gets the worm.... and in term of perspective and reading market sentiment being in sync with London (with or without trades involved) will put you miles away from the competition ....

all of us traders are different H. I admire Sisse as a trader and for his charts and fundy knowledge

To be honest, i'm a bit of a lazy trader plus i work full time. I don't have the time to read all the news, map all session opens, highs or lows or research this and that. So i honed my skills around what i have time for.

There is no better indicator i find than just simply reading candles.

Yip, may get some penetration alright. Looking for an M formation. Beige Book positioning may help too tomorrow
Now on a normal week, i would expect PA to continue south which it may yet. The only thing that bothers me is the Daily 20MA is around 1.259x which it hasn't kissed or so to say so it might still complete touch or just range till Bernanck

Knocked out of my Aussie long... just in time for it to probably find a bottom too. LOL. I hate trading I'll give her another go if the 15m shows a directional shift (RBR) since we are flirting in H4 demand at the moment. Or rather... falling through it.
