π§ What Are Session Profiles?
A session profile describes the typical price structure and narrative during a market session β from open β high/low β close.
In Forex, we focus on:
β’ Asian Session
β’ London Session
β’ New York SessionEach session can act as either a reversal or continuation of the previous session(s).
Why They Work
Markets are engineered to:
β’ Run stops (above highs or below lows)
β’ Fill inefficiencies (fair value gaps or imbalances)CLS prefer to move price during specific times β the active hours around session opens. This is where liquidity is high and slippage is minimal, making it ideal for executing large orders.
So, session profiles help us map out when and where these manipulations are most likely to happen.
Why You Should Use Them
Session profiles help you:
β’ Avoid low-probability trades in dead sessions
β’ Focus on high-probability narratives
β’ Anchor your execution models to contextBut remember: they are not an entry model. You still need:
β’ A higher timeframe bias
β’ A mechanical entry model
β’ A system for risk and trade managementHow to Use Session Profiles
Use the previous session(s) to anticipate the next one.
β’ For London session β analyze the Asian session
β’ For New York session β analyze Asian + London sessionsYouβre looking for:
- Manipulations into key levels
- Displacement (price moves away strongly)
- Change in order flow (e.g. OB,on M5 ,15 or H1)
- Remaining liquidity targets (draw on liquidity)
Session Profile Types with Chart Logic
London Continuation Profile
Conditions:
β’ Asia session already made a manipulation into a key level
β’ Price displaced away from that level
β’ CIOD / OB on M15 or H1 before London openExample:
β’ H1: Asia runs stops above H1 high into a fair value gap (key level)
β’ Displacement confirms intent
β’ At London open, price retraces into M15 premium (PD array) and continues in the same directionInvalidation: the manipulation high/low from Asia session
Narrative: Asia did the manipulation β London does the continuation.
