The darker band is the London × New York overlap — the deepest liquidity window of the day. The vertical line is now.

How to trade each session

Character changes with the centre

Tokyo

Ranges are narrower and cleaner. Asia usually sets the highs and lows that London will later hunt. Treat the session extremes as tomorrow's liquidity.

London

The first genuine expansion of the day. London frequently sweeps the Asian range before committing to direction — that sweep is the setup, not the signal to chase.

New York

Highest participation and the sharpest reversals. The overlap window carries the day's best risk-to-reward and its worst impulse trades.
