Where the Day's Story Actually Plays Out
Often completes or reverses what London started — and frequently sets the day's high or low.
Before you start: No prior concept needed.
Part of the My Edge Official framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.
If London sets the conditions, New York is where the day's story actually gets resolved — a session with high participation, increased volatility, and significant liquidity that often completes or reverses the narrative established in London.

If London sets the stage, New York is where the day's story actually plays out — a high-participation session that often finishes or reverses what London started.
Advanced explanation⌄
Theory
New York session: 7:00 AM–10:00 AM New York time (always based on local New York time, including daylight saving adjustments).
The New York session often: delivers liquidity from established liquidity pools, continues or reverses the London session's delivery, forms or respects higher-timeframe PD Arrays, establishes the daily high or low, and creates execution opportunities following liquidity delivery.
Context
Before trading during the New York session, assess: higher-timeframe context, draw on liquidity, market structure, liquidity, and nearby PD Arrays.
Confirmation
Never trade simply because the market is inside the New York session. Wait for liquidity alignment, a market structure shift (MSS), displacement, lower-timeframe price action, and PD Array confirmation.
Execution
📌 The New York session provides both market context and execution opportunities. Its importance depends on higher-timeframe context, the current market narrative, and alignment with liquidity.
How to Use It
In practice:
- At the New York open, first check whether London completed its delivery or whether higher-timeframe liquidity remains untaken — this determines whether New York continues or reverses London.
- Most high-probability executions happen after confirmation (MSS + displacement), not on the first touch of a level — be patient in the first few minutes of the session.
- Combine with the RTH Opening Gap and the New York Kill Zone for more precise time and price context within the session itself.

What is the New York trading session and when does it run?⌄
The New York session runs 7:00 AM–10:00 AM New York time (based on local New York time, including daylight saving adjustments) — a window that often sets the day's high or low, and where London's narrative typically gets completed or reversed.
How do I trade the New York session?⌄
Check whether London already completed its delivery or left higher-timeframe liquidity untaken — this determines whether New York continues or reverses London — then wait for a market structure shift, displacement, and PD Array confirmation before entering.
Is every entry inside New York session hours automatically high-probability?⌄
No — being inside the session provides context and opportunity, but execution still requires liquidity alignment, a confirmed market structure shift, and lower-timeframe price action, never the session timing alone.
How does the New York Kill Zone relate to the New York session?⌄
They share the same 7:00 AM–10:00 AM window in this framework; the Kill Zone framing emphasizes it as the period where institutions most often deliver the day's objective and where our highest-quality confirmed executions happen.
