If ... you're NOT in Europe or the U.K., and you're trading any of the following strategies ----
  • London Breakout Strategy (the Win Ratio thread on the Newbie Island forum)
  • London Breakout-1 (on the Free Forex Trading Systems forum)
  • Sunday Breakout Strategy (on the Free Forex Trading Systems forum)
  • or any other GBP, EUR or CHF strategy which is sensitive to time-of-day in Europe


Then ... you need to take note of the weird time-changes occurring THIS WEEK ONLY:
  • the market will open in Europe, and in London, one hour later than usual
  • news releases in Europe and London will occur one hour later than usual
  • the London Breakout Strategy overnight period will occur one hour later than usual
  • the London Breakout-1 five-candle period will occur one hour later than usual
  • the key 8pm GMT Sunday candle on Phil's Sunday Breakout Strategy will be one hour out-of-phase
    with the London and European markets; there is no way to compensate for this.


For my time zone (EDT in the eastern U.S.), the times for this week are:
  • Zurich open 3am
  • London open 4am
  • GBP news releases (typically) 5:30am
  • London Breakout Strategy overnight period 3pm - 1am
  • London Breakout-1 five candle period 1am - 6am

I wrote these on a Post-It Note, and stuck it on my monitor.

For other time zones, I'll leave it to you to make the appropriate adjustments.

Starting next Sunday, we will be back to "normal" times.
