I would be more inclined to think it was because of weekly s/r... maybe same thing through different eyes {image}
It is basically the same thing. London closed there for a reason. The old highs were more than likely that reason. We are on the same pond just sailing two different ships.

Lots of orders do pile up at the session opens. Its mostly dumb money. The thing to look for is where are the nearby significant levels and make sure to either trade away from them only or be ready to take profit quickly when price reaches the level on a breakout. The dumb money at the open will be wrong over half the time.

Dear SP

It has been long time since i posted on FF. Have been a voyeur since you begin your thread. Finally a thread that really able to help and let me look at the market differently. Thank you very much for your kind sharing.

A question from me or perhaps other voyeur as well. The chart i attached there is 2 grey marking. Which one will you be using as previous day high? Before daily open? or before london close?

Hi Alpe, It's your 3067. It's the high between 00:00 and 00:00 NY time.

I just wanted to post one chart to illustrate why time matters. This is GU chart from today. Yellow is London close from yesterday. Purple is Friday close. Price at time is important. Almost as important as highs and lows. {image}
What am I missing here? Yesterdays close i have same, Friday close is different. Attached is an image.

Hi bud. i traded (quite rare) the jpn opening 15 min chart, It shorted and i took a modest few pips and then got out. If this pair was different i would of longed it at the 15 min high* not long ago. Going off SP mthod i believe on the very last candle ,,,if it closes above line that is good for long. Like i say i do not normally trade this as i am testing it out, be good

getting back to my last post. It looks like the 15 min did retraceso SP method would of become active and it looks like 20 pips could of been made minus spread so say 16. Like i said i did not trade the long. i am just having a headache with e/u lol, g/u has been good

Thanks to SP & all those others that Contribute Thoughtful suggestions, I am currently researching EJ & how it likes to play about Sydney open. It does seem to use this market opening as a sort of Base level, and frequently revisits during the next 6 to 18 hours if price has not picked a direction yet.

btw, still in 1/2 of EU NY 00:00 trade from yesterday's bounce off top of 3hr range. In my past life (BR: Before Ramblings) chances were very slim that I would be in a trade more then 10-12 hours.

Hi SP

I have no clue what has just happened on the yen pairs but is this counts as a "news" trade?

Thanks

Question regarding re-entry of EU NY 00:00 Range Trade; I added to long based on retest of top of NY 00 range. Now I have moved my SL to today's bottom of range. As I recall this is what was mentioned in a post which I currently can't locate. True or False?

That is correct. If the new trade from today reaches 1/1 then you would move all stops to today's break even level.

You could play it that way however the inside bar top if broken runs right into heavy resistance at the Tue. high. No room for a trade.
