About
Kill Zones Trading
Specific session windows when institutional activity peaks, creating the best trading opportunities.
Kill Zone Schedule (UTC)
| Session | Kill Zone (UTC) | Characteristics | | ---------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | | Asian | 00:00 - 03:00 | Range formation, accumulation | | London | 07:00 - 10:00 | Trend initiation, highest volatility | | NY AM | 12:00 - 15:00 | Continuation or reversal | | NY PM | 18:00 - 20:00 | End-of-day positioning |
Session Behaviors
- Asian: Creates the day's range (high/low boundaries). Builds liquidity at session extremes. Sets up London.
- London: Most important session for entries. Often sweeps Asian highs or lows. Creates daily bias direction.
- NY AM: Either continues London trend or reverses. Watch for sweep of London extremes. High-impact news window.
- NY PM: End-of-day positioning. Lower priority for entries. Potential reversal if overextended.
Workflow
- Pre-session: Mark Asian session high/low, identify HTF key levels, note scheduled news events
`` get_candles_around_date(symbol=, exchange=, interval="15m", date=) ``
- Session open (first 15-30 min): Observe manipulation. Wait for sweep of Asian high/low
- Entry timing: Enter after kill zone manipulation (sweeps), typically 30-60 min into the session. Watch for LTF structure shift as confirmation
- Session context:
- London sweeps Asian low = bullish day
- London sweeps Asian high = bearish day
- London takes both = chop/range day
Key Rules
- NEVER trade the first 15 min of a session -- these are manipulation moves
- NEVER trade outside kill zone windows -- low volume = chop and false signals
- London is the most profitable session for most pairs/instruments
- NY AM can confirm or invalidate London's direction
- Always combine kill zone timing with a structural entry (OB, FVG, or structure shift)
