I have to go to work today. So I'll get little cance to monitor the market. As usual, start with the Tokyo open.

Price was just moving sideways staying below the daily pivot. No trade opportunity found. But just after the London open price started to move up and down.

These price fluctuation can be utlized if the position can be taken at right time with tight s/l. More than 2 hours after the London opent price suddenly started to move north without giving any hints.

After news release price rallied downwards. If a short entry could be done at second candle following news release, more than 60 pips could be gained. I missed the time. I came after the rally has been faded away. I had no other opportunity here.
After that I traded with other pairs (GBP/USD, EUR/JPY) with other strategies. I'll let you know about these later.
