Anyone in from that level, make sure to manage your trade accordingly. Don't over risk, it's the end of the month and price is likely to whipsaw.
Respect your money:
A lot of traders feel they need to trade every day and throughout the day for some reason. They want to sell it, then buy it, then sell it and then buy it all day long. This, unless you're a professional scalper doesn't work. Even when scalping, traders are looking at the longer time frame charts for direction and then scalping in that direction with huge lots! If you think you're going to be able to trade up and down all day you're only gambling with your hard earned money. Respect your money, respect your account, respect your risk strategy and respect your money management. Don't let your emotions get you into situations because you've over traded, 1-2 good trades a day or even a week, that's all it takes

Best and worst times to trade the markets:
London open – 7am-10:30am GMT has heavy volume and will give good trading opportunities
US Open – 12:30 – 2:30pm GMT has heavy volume and will give good trading opportunities
The Sydney and Tokyo overlap – 11pm-4am is not so volatile but will still give opportunities
The first few days of the start of the month and the last few days of the end of the month are also volatile days. Institutions usually come out of short term positions in preparation for a new month, this is why traders are always keen to see how the monthly candle closes.
Mondays – Mondays are not a great day to trade, the market will try to find its feet after the weekend close, there may also be news over the weekend that the market reacts to on Monday open. You will find the data can be skewed and there can be glitches on the charts between closing and opening price. Its best to let the market settle on Monday morning.
Fridays – Just like the end of the month, institutions and funds like to close out positions at the end of the week in preparation for a new week ahead. For this reason you will find on some occasions you will get a late Friday buy in or sell off. Its good practice to not enter and trades after the early afternoon session on a Friday.
