What do you expect at this time of day?

Of course, the spreads are wider now.

When are they the tightest, during the US session and London session?

I thought they would be tight because the Tokyo opened at 7pm est but obviously not.

Would you recommend a market order plus a trailing stop of 5 pips when opening oders

So when the new 1 hour candle opens you really quickly put in a limit order 1 pip in the other direction. (right now i am not quick enough yet) And do you always get filled?

NO. You must wait for the price to move in the direction you want.

Hey guys, just an extension on the Buzzard strategy - if you see 3 consecutive colours, watch the 4th bar form. If it doesn't change colour AT ALL and continues going up (for consecutive greens) or down (for consecutive reds) then jump in when you see the ride stop and reverse and set a take profit where the candle will change colour. Works great, and gets you some decent profits!

Take a look at the 4th bar on the consecutive 3's on past charts and even if the 4th bar is also of the consecutive colour it always has a wick indicating that at some point it was the opposite colour. In seeing this, you know even if the 4th bar is forming as consecutive at some point it will change direction and change to the opposite colour. So taking profit at that change should work nearly always!
