This is the hardest, because you capitilize on the daily range
We want to atleast capitilize on 65-75% of the daily range
We focus primarily on the daily for daytrade PD arrays
We focus on the next weekly expansion, higher or lower
Were demanding specific times to occur in a window of time, were flexibile with time, we demand preciseness from price
Time of day
London session open: the hotspot is 2am to 4am. London can be more of a beast it requires more knowledge To account for daylight savings and stuff, ICT uses 1am to 5am for London
New York session open, the easiest one to work with The only time to avoid New York is when London makes 80% of the daily range, 80% of the last 5 days average range
London close, We look to bank our positions here. There could be a reversal sometimes, and many times it provides an entry for one shot one kill, swing trades and position trades
New york close, 2pm-3pm close of the bond market
Asian session open, Good for AUD YEN and NZD pair, many times it can create the daily low/high for those pairs
London Lunch, 5am-7am Quiet time, it can be a consolidaiton or continuation or retracement. Its good to take profits in London before 5am because it can be a reversal or deeper retracement
Day of week
Sunday, some providers use daily candles if yours doesnt then dont worry about it and later when ICT refers to sunday candles just use monday candles
Monday, If its a large range and you understand where youre at and trades into a premium relative to the daily that can many times be the high of the week vice versa for low of the week.
