The Danger of Taking Trades Outside Your Trading Session

Many traders develop a strategy around specific market sessions.

For example, a setup may perform well during the London session but poorly during quiet market hours.

Taking trades outside your tested session can introduce unnecessary uncertainty.

Track:

1. Performance by session.

2. Average volatility.

3. Trading volume.

4. Spread conditions.

5. Setup frequency.

Key takeaway: Trade when your tested edge appears, not simply when you have free time.

Which session do you trade most: Asian, London, or New York?
