The alarm was never the problem.
The late entry was. Missing the London open was free. Chasing it wasn’t.
Sleeping through the open costs nothing. The trade taken three hours later is a different trade: one the backtest never saw.
Friendly advice: backtest the hours you’re actually awake. After 14 trades a win rate is still roughly ±13 points of noise; after 100, roughly ±5.
