This is a textbook pre-London setup.
During the Asian session we often see (especially in Yen pairs) moves that set up for the London session. What this does is provides us with liquidity of retail trader stops that we can take advantage of.
This was a simple 0.7 R trade that I was in and out of within 45 minutes.
It amazes me that traders still put their stops above/below swing points and prior structure, you're basically asking me to come and hunt you down!
Also, side note the reason the R is 0.7 is because my strike rate on this strategy is s high, so I don't need to use the absolute poor excuse of *I use a minumum 1:3 Risk to Reward because I can lose 40% of my trades and still be profitable* - IF your strategy gives you a 40% strike rate, it clearly doesn't work!
Rant over!
Good morning anyway guys, go smash the day!
