It's a little indicator I found for the NY Big Dog strategy but I edited it a bit to change the times for this one.
It's attached here.
When it opens up go to the Inputs tab and change the end time from 07:00 to whatever you need, it will count 10 candles back.
I took a whole load of stuff off it with other lines and things it was drawing...

Default NFP today --- not Friday

The U.S. Labor Department will release the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) Report today, Thursday, July 2, at 8:30am EDT (12:30 GMT).

The NFP report, which is usually released on the first Friday of each month, will be released a day early this month because Friday will be a U.S. government holiday, in observance of Independence Day (Saturday, July 4).

Banks and Stock Exchanges in the U.S. will be closed on Friday, as well.

Forex trading will continue, as usual, until late Friday afternoon, but volume will be extremely light. So, be careful.

Or, better yet, make it a long weekend.

Clint

1.30 pm UK time, we are usually 5 hrs in front of NY, except
around daylight saving time changes.

Good morning, Trevor

Yup, got my 10 pips, as usual. My Entry Orders were: Buy @ 1.6508 (on the Ask price), and Sell @ 1.6445 (on the Bid).

My Sell order was triggered, and I was immediately limited out for +10 pips, on the 01:55 EDT candle (5-minute chart).

My win/loss with this strategy is 11/0 so far.

Clint

Not sure what you are asking.

8:30am EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) = 12:30 GMT = 1:30pm BST (British Summer Time)

Oh, I thought you were trailing by 10pips.
So, are you doing 30SL/10TP? In which case, here are the results since March 29th if you're interested (roughly 80:20 wins)
30/10

No question just a statement, looking at the chart below from our
friends across the road, London is still classified as GMT even though
we are in BST.

Not sure who 12.30 GMT would refer to, Azores, Cape Verde Island?

The gap between NY time & London time is always 5hrs except this year
for 3 weeks in March it was 4 hrs because of variance in daylight
saving time movements.

Not really important I am sure all on this side of the pond realise
the difference, but for clarity just in case.
