THE DAY

Trading sessions

CLOSED

Asian Session

20:00–00:00 ET

Liquidity builds overnight. Mark the range and let it form — rarely the place to force a trade.

CLOSED

London Session

03:00–08:00 ET

Volatility wakes up. The London move often sets the day's bias and the liquidity NY will hunt.

CLOSEDDF FOCUS

New York AM

09:30–11:00 ET

The DF Trading killzone. Prime conditions for the Mech Model — patience here pays the most.

CLOSED

New York PM

13:00–14:00 ET

An afternoon window for reversals after the lunch lull. Smaller, selective, rules-only.

Hit two losers and you're finished. Close the platform. Walk.

Risk : reward
