Killzones and key hours

ICT · Timeframe: — · Sessions: Asia 20-00 · London 02-05 · NY 07-10 · NY PM 13:30-16 (NY time)

Time windows in which the algorithm produces the highest-quality moves.

How it works

ICT argues that 'when' matters as much as 'where'. Expansion moves concentrate in the London killzone (02:00–05:00 NY) and the NY killzone (07:00–10:00). Outside them, ranges and false breakouts are common. The Silver Bullet and the 09:50-10:10 Macro are specific sub-windows.

Step-by-step rules

1. Trade only inside killzones.
2. Avoid the 30 minutes before high-impact news.
3. Avoid new entries on Friday afternoon.
