Even if your system triggers a buy/sell signal at, let's say, 1PM (EST)?? What if 1PM is the exact low of the day and the high of the day has not been reached yet? Come on.
if it's an entry to add I always take it, regardless of time. As a matter of fact when things get thin I get my best fills. But I almost always postpone a trigger to get stopped out after 12 pm, and won't execute it until 1 or 2 am.
Yes, absolutely agree mate. I don't think there are anything to consider active after 12PM EST except there are any FOMC or FUNDAMENTAL HIGH IMPACT on the day. I am glad I stay in Asia, the most best geographical location for trading Forex and of course it is my sleeping time on 12pm EST and I can sleep well everyday without any worries.
