Chapter 3 lesson 8 - When to avoid trading specific sessions

Question 1

What should you look for to avoid trading the London session?

Answer 1

1. If the Asian range is 40 pips or more, or the Asian range provided price expansion, then avoid the London session. The reason for this is that when Asia expands, London is likely to consolidate.
2. If the CBDR is more than 50 pips, avoid London because the dealing range is not favorable to use for London setups. If the dealing range is too large, then we won’t be able to measure the protraction accurately.
3. If today’s range is more than double the ADR, then we should avoid London in the next day. The reason for this is that the market tends to consolidate after a large range.
