Understanding Sessions (Asia, London, New York)
TradeShields allows you to filter trades by global market sessions:
- Asia Session: Typically active during 00:00–08:00 GMT.
- London Session: Typically active during 08:00–16:00 GMT.
- New York Session: Typically active during 16:00–00:00 GMT.
How to configure:
- Locate the Trade specific sessions input under Time Filters.
- Select one of the options:
- All: Trade during all sessions.
- Asia, London, or New York: Restrict trading to a specific session.
Example:
- If you’re trading the Nikkei 225, select Asia to focus on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's active hours.
- For EUR/USD, select London or New York to align with high liquidity periods.
Tips:
- Use session filters to trade during high-volume periods for better execution.
- Avoid overlapping sessions (e.g., London–New York) if you want to reduce volatility.
