Frequently Asked Questions
What is the London Kill Zone and when does it happen?⌄
The London Kill Zone is the 2:00 AM–5:00 AM New York time window at the start of the London session — widely regarded in this framework as the most manipulation-prone window of the entire day.
How do I trade the London Kill Zone?⌄
Note where the current draw on liquidity is before the window opens, expect a fake move before the real one, and require a confirmed market structure shift and displacement before trusting any single move inside it.
Why is the London Kill Zone considered so manipulation-prone?⌄
Participation and volatility spike sharply at the London open, and it's a classic window for a sweep-then-reverse pattern, so the first move within it is frequently a trap rather than the real directional move.
Does a nearby NDOG or NWOG matter during the London Kill Zone?⌄
Yes — checking whether an NDOG or NWOG sits nearby often helps identify the target London is aiming for within this window.
