There has been so many question about the right time to place order using my free forex signals. Though i actually I usually write the suggested time to place order in each signal’s post, i think it would be better if i write a separate article about it.

Before we go further, let me remind you these :

  1. my signals are spesifically for GBP/USD
  2. They based on daily pivot technique and a modification of daily breakout technique
  3. They also based on my experience (long observation on this pair movement)

Therefore my signals would be very effective in Europe and US session. It’s true that i always make the prediction even before the opening of Asian session, however my signals effectivity is still at Europe and US session.  So, placing your order at Asian session is not recommended

Asian session starts at about 00.00 GMT and Europe session opening is usually at about 06.00 GMT. Placing your order few hour earlier than Europe session opening will give you risk of having so many whipsaws. Though rarely happen, GBP/USD price whipsaw on Asian session is possible.

That’s why I suggest that the best time to place the order is immediately before the opening of Europe session. As of my own observation, GBP/USD price usually move in a relatively small range after 04.00 GMT. I think placing the order at about 05.00 GMT is the best choice to catch earlier move of this pair.

The next question then “may I place the order after 5 GMT?”. This is really discretionary, however I can say that you may place the order after 05.00 GMT only if one of these conditions are filled:

  1. The price hasn’t hit the trigger point (entry point), OR:
  2. The price has hit the trigger point, but not yet stopped at either Stop Loss or Profit Target.
