β’ New York opens with structure intact for continuationExample:
β’ H1: London makes a reversal from a key level and displaces lower
β’ Draw on liquidity (e.g., previous day low) still untouched
β’ NY opens and continues the sell-off, retracing briefly into M15 imbalance before expanding lowerInvalidation: manipulation level from London
Narrative: London set the direction β NY finishes the move.

β’ Asia + London lows still intact (liquidity available below)Example:
β’ H1: No strong setup in London
β’ NY opens, price spikes into daily OB and takes out London highs

Before applying any session profile, confirm:
- High-probability trading conditions (e.g., key level proximity, market open, liquidity available, Red News)
- Bias in place (HTF (D1 and Weekly direction must be known)
Then:
β Check for valid session narrative
β Select the correct session profile
β Wait for the stop run of H1 / H4
β Is there enough room for the move to key level
β If we are still in first half of session you can enter. If its close the end of session skip it.
β Apply your entry and risk model.
β Dont be greedy look for 2:1 RR trade and get out.[I]How to enter ?

Never sell low / Never buy High... wait for stop run / Liquidity sweeps. If you dont know where is the liquidity - you will be liquidity.Hope this brings clarity to your trading.
