I entered my order at the 12,20 bar, but it had already shot beyond the entry point. Where did I go wrong? I think I need to get these trades locked into my own time zone.
Also, do you mind me posting and asking in this thread, or should I do that elsewhere?
Which trade are you referring to? The 7am EUR/USD short trade or the 9:30pm GBP/USD long trade? Also, what time zone are you on? All times listed on this thread are CST (one hour behind EST).
I certainly do not mind anyone posting their questions/thoughts/ideas on this thread, in fact, I encourage it. Please let me know if I can help you make sense out of this whole thing 
The conditions lined up for the 3pm GBP/USD long trade. Here is the setup:
Entry Price: 1.6099
Exit: at the open of the 7:30pm CST bar
S/L: 1.6073
TP: 1.6109
Good luck!
I messed up somewhere on the The 9:30am GBP/USD.
Here is my order:
GBP/USD
Time: 17:23 CEST
Units: 1.000
Price: 1.6058
SL: 1.60180
TP: 1.60780
But looking at my charts at this time, it had already shot way past the asking price. So I’m trying to find out where I went wrong.
I appreciate you supporting sharing and learning this material. It makes being new, less overwhelming.
I’m going to write down the specific times for these daily trades converted into my own timezone now, that should help.
Am I supposed to put up the trades at a specific time, or is it ok to just put up an order with the correct parameters?
All of these trades are, absolutely time sensitive. Depending on the price action, you probably want to be in the trade within 5-10 minutes after the specified time (if price action has already moved significantly in one way or another, this will negate your entry).
The trades are posted in CST (CDT) which is 1 hour behind EST. Hopefully this helps!
Sorry to ask, but how far behind GMT is EST?
No problem PureMuscle, thanks for the post.
Currently, EST is 4 hours behind GMT (i.e. right now it’s 4:54pm in EST and 8:54pm in GMT). Hopefully this helps!
Hmmm, so is this trade currently on then? i.e its 3:54pm CST?
After reviewing my trade. the reason why I did not get any action in the GBP/USD 9.30 today was because I put up my order 1 hour late.
Is this your timezone/the one you use for your post in this thread tradetilidie? CST Timezone
All this talk of timezone’s is making my head spin. 
Haha! Understandable, it can be a bit confusing 
The current time in my CST time zone is 4:04pm due to Daylight Savings Time until 11/06/11.
