Clocks go forward this weekend in the UK folks. I don't know why the US & UK don't do it together in the same weekend, my charts change from +2GMT to +3GMT for about 3 weeks. Might be ok for US traders as most charts are set to NY close. Annoying for the rest of us.
First, we adjust to the US DST, then a few weeks after accommodate the UK DST then again after a week, change to the AUS DST.

{quote} Mate, the worst is for the AUS traders. First, we adjust to the US DST, then a few weeks after accommodate the UK DST then again after a week, change to the AUS DST.
But I thought AUS didn't do DST , so some states do & some don't ?
Problem is it messes up with your charts if you are trading around the market opens.
I know Japan got rid of DST a long time ago.
This may be useful if you are from the UK :

Again, NOT tooting any horn please, those that know with me will understand my trade charts (AND review charts)
So
Forgetting the fundamentals and long-run trend analysis
imo
In between the above sets the market will run itself (always imo) between TWO targets.
Where are the two targets now (from the recent past) and where is the second target next ... is the traders challenge ... and again just as i see it
(its not everybody's cup 'o tea I do understand
)
Anyway, the new Asia morning is over for me +10p (net not pips) and must do me now I think, regardless of where the market heads now.
Will be back again for Franky/London to see where the market has taken price tthen. And no fomo from me if it runs hard now either way, I'm done for the morning.

I hope some folks DO understand what these charts I post are & for what purpose I show all this sh!t lol
It is NOT to show I can take a winning trade, please
A trade can either be successful, a trade can be neutral (BE), or a trade can be a loss
That is up to EACH trader in the end imo, regardless of the set method or system/strategy (or discretion) they use.
By that I might say (and hopefully for the last time I imagine MANY will be thinking hahaa)
is … I PREFER to close at ‘lock trades’
A LOCK trade, by my definition, is NOT a trade that is a GUARANTEED success from the moment it is opened
By my def (only, I imagine) a lock trade is a trade that is closed a “little early” just before it reaches the designated/expected target as ...
IF ...
the trade is going to the expected target (read, IF)
then closing it a little early makes the trade an early LOCK in. Especially if price goes further to reach the expected target.
That is the only way how I can explain it I guess.
Now, TARGETS are not imho universal unchanging targets each time
(the market would never likely repeat precisely each & every time - think about it)
The job of the trader imho then is to independently assess (via probablities) where & what such targets MIGHT be
(should they even wish to “use” targets as part of their plays ---- cheers again george, TARGETS, TARGETS, TARGETS)
Then each trader (only) can decide whether it is prudent to even trade at this or any time
And will such trades work positively every time. Hahaaa, as if.
All I can really suggest to traders is to, always, trade SAFE - & then trade well (as it’s a minefield out there).
I know I keep saying this is my last chart pic
Well if OTHERS can show their charts & trades pls I can happily just sit back & watch and hopefully learn more from others. Up to you folks.
Anyway, my day is fully over now as my day’s expectation (+15p) has been achieved/exceeded.
Is there potentially MORE out there. Yes, of course, there’s always MORE. But also less lol.
(Or even loss of what has already been achieved).
So, MORE ???????

Humphrey Bogart & Edward G
“He knows what he wants, don’t you Rocco”
“What. What is it I want???????????”
Each to their own
. And trade SAFE, please.

TIMINGS / LEVELS / BEHAVIOUR OF PRICE
3 Key elements....(for me)
Do you trade at Random times ? Do you trade at Specific times ?
Do you pay attention to Market Levels ?
Are you aware of the behaviour of Price at specific times of the day/session and at Market Levels ?

I trade several different methods, but always in the context of this chart, these levels, and that timing window.
