Well, ok then. (Said in a Fargo accent...)

I also missed an absolute storm-trooper of a 1-2-3 on the F40 this morning while I was busy - there's only so much you can cover at once, dammit!!!

There's an interesting one hanging around over in NJ's yard. It looks good and the Daily suggests there might be something to it - but the H4 is looking kind of...freight-train-ey...

Might be a small UC developing. Watch for a continued drop South though.
Sitting here watching it now...hesitating.
Wow! I've got some experience to gain.

Yeah. The live bar has just made a new low (just). I'm not convinced tbh. US Open will probably move it but something just feels off.

Someone asked me about my entries on one of the threads at some point earlier - and I'm blowed if I can find the post. It was something like do I try and get the exact entry. In case it was on here, yes, I do. I enter (for the most part) manually and work my trigger-finger hard to get as close a possible to my marked entry level.

I had to head over to The Dead Zone, so left it. Well done.

If i would've woken up at 3:30am est to witness london open and enter the opportunities that presented themselves, i would've been 8 for 8 for the day.

what exactly is the secret sauce that makes 1 hour after London Open the ideal time (atleast in my eyes) to enter a trade?

{image} Took this EG short and managed to get to the +5 ever so slowly, profit locked will see where it goes.
I noticed there was Red News on the EUR at this time 9:00am.
Is there only certain Red News you'd stay away from?

Because volume has moved into the market, early manoeuvrings have settled down and decisions are made. Or maybe it's just the time when all the big gorillas have finished their first coffees of the day - who knows

That UC we played around with early on today went on to show why patience is something every 1-2-3 trader should have.

The NJ option also seconded that - and also shows that although additional analysis is undoubtedly helpful, you should still trade what you see.

I wouldn't have a problem if it was for UC. As I have mentioned before, UC has a definite tendency to ''top-and-tail'' the day. Just remember that any moves out of the main sessions will always tend to be smaller ones (unless there is news to add oomph).

I guess I'll just stick to the London session.
As a newb anyway.
