Sleep is so important, don't fatigue yourself. Forex goes on and on. According to my world clock right now it's 4pm for you, and the next 2 hours are peak for the Asian so I'd say 4-6pm for you is good. Next big session is in 5 hours time so it ...

Got sick of hoping it would go up and went and had a coffee break. What a freaking nice surprise! TP1 at 128.673 (which was a TP i'd placed earlier) , TP2 128.896. I tend to fear it's a trap and TP too soon, lifting my SL to 128.565 to ensure min ...
