The London killzone

Sessions & Killzones

Where the day's extreme often forms

The London killzone runs from about 2 AM to 5 AM New York time. It's the window where the day's actual high or low often forms, well before US traders are even awake.

A grab of the Asian range first

London brings a fresh wave of volume and often takes a run at the Asian session's high or low before committing to its own direction, a classic liquidity grab at the handoff between sessions.

Sets the tone for New York

A move that starts in the London killzone and shows real displacement often carries through into the New York session later, since it reflects the first major institutional read of the day.
