London session

o during the London Session we can see the highest probability of a large directional move
[upside or downside] in the 24-hour day.
o The London Trading Session actually extends beyond the 5:00 am - 7:00 am in New York
time
o 5am – 7am = Minor retracements possible
No entries at this time because it can tend to open NY Open
o The London Session sees the highest volume of order execution than any other Trading
Session.
o London Session = 2am – 7am New York time & extends to 7am – 10-11am New York time
o London Session & New York Session gets overlapped

o In this chart let’s look to 1st Eg i.e., 1st London session = we have a micro power 3 formation
in here so we have the consolidation - open the rally up – expansion – low – London close
o if London session is trending [Pump or Dump] then New York Session could be quiet i.e.,
consolidation or we can even see sometimes the reversal
o let’s look to 1st Eg i.e., 2nd London session = it created the day low & consolidated but after
crossover in New York session we have seen a bullish move

London session characteristics

o London session typically creates the low of the day when the market is primarily bullish and
the high of the day when bearish
o when the market is poised to trade higher on a daily timeframe, we can focus on the London
session to post a low of the trading day
o if the daily is poised to trade lower, we can focus on the London session to post the high of
the trading day

o In this Eg, we can see OTE entry [1d tf ], Euro trading up into 70.5 level failing to get to the
79 level and the rejected candle showing reverse sign next candle we could potentially see
this be a bearish candle
o OTE could be the POI for break down
o Next candle to rejected candle could be Power 3
o Consolidation - At london open we can see rally – aggressively sell – creates low = Power 3
