Frequently Asked Questions

What is the London trading session and when does it run?

The London session runs 2:00 AM–5:00 AM New York time (based on local New York time, including daylight saving adjustments) and is the day's first real manipulation — substantially greater liquidity that often extends or reverses the range Asia built overnight.

How do I trade the London session?

Check first whether Asian liquidity was taken, then wait for genuine displacement (not just movement) and a market structure shift on the lower timeframe before executing, since London often produces a fake move before the real one.

Is being inside London hours by itself a trading signal?

No — the session alone is never a signal; it requires liquidity alignment, a market structure shift, displacement, and PD Array confirmation before it becomes a trading opportunity.

How does the London Kill Zone relate to the London session?

In this framework they share the same 2:00 AM–5:00 AM window; the Kill Zone framing is used specifically as the precise, high-probability filter for manipulation-style moves within those hours.
