London Breakout Strategy for EUR/USD — My Bread and Butter

Trade the London session open breakout on EUR/USD. Mark the high and low of the Asian session (midnight to 8 AM London time). When London opens (8 AM), place pending orders above the high and below the low. The first breakout typically runs 30-50 pips. Use tight stop on the other side of the range. Win rate ~55% but risk-reward averages 2:1. Only trade Mon-Thu.
