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:

  1. Locate the Trade specific sessions input under Time Filters.
  2. 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.
