Understand Market Sessions


•Tokyo / Asian Session
•Low volatility, slower price action
•Great for spotting liquidity zones and accumulation areas
•London / European Session
•High volatility, large moves, major FX pairs active
•Best session for breakouts and capturing momentum
•New York / US Session
•Continuation or reversal of London moves
•Watch for session overlaps → highest liquidity and volatility

2️⃣ Know Liquidity Zones
•Smart money hunts liquidity — your edge is spotting it first
•Key liquidity areas:
•Stop-hunt zones above/below recent swing highs & lows
•Consolidation ranges where price accumulates
•Break of structure (BOS) → often preceded by liquidity grabs

3️⃣ Points of Interest (POI) = Entry Hotspots
•POIs are where price reacts predictably
•Examples:
•Supply & Demand zones
•Previous swing highs and lows
•Major support/resistance levels
•Confluence zones (e.g., session overlap + liquidity + S/R)

4️⃣ Combine Sessions + Liquidity + POI for High-Probability Entries
•Observe London open → price often hunts liquidity in Asian session zones
•Watch for retracement to a POI → ideal entry area
•Always align your entry with higher timeframe trend and structure

5️⃣ Risk Management is Non-Negotiable
•Max 1–2% risk per trade
•Place stop-loss around POI or liquidity zones
•Let winners run; cut losers fast
•Never chase price — let the market come to you

6️⃣ Example Trade Setup
•EUR/USD during London open
•Price spikes to previous swing high (liquidity grab)
•Forms bearish rejection candle at POI
•Enter short
•Stop above swing high
•Take profit at next liquidity area or demand zone

7️⃣ Key Takeaways
•Trade smart, not hard
•Focus on sessions, liquidity, POIs → reduces bad entries
•Mark zones daily and watch session overlaps for real opportunities
•High-probability setups = price + structure + POI + session alignment
