The New York killzone
Sessions & Killzones
The open sits right inside it
The New York killzone runs from about 7 AM to 10 AM New York time, covering the pre-market ramp and the 9:30 AM equities open, one of the most active windows of the entire day.
A whip before the real trend
The 9:30 AM equities open sits right inside this killzone and often produces a sharp, fast whip in both directions before the real trend of the session sets in.
Check London's levels first
Because the New York killzone often reaches back for London's untaken liquidity first, checking what London's high and low were before New York opens gives you a real map instead of guessing blind.
