1) Pre-Market Prep

• Mark H4 trend and key levels.
• Note scheduled high-impact news within the next 3 hours.
• Select liquid pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD.

2) Build the Asian Range

From 00:00–05:00 London time, mark the high and low.

• Range quality: ATR(14) on M15 should be below its 20-day median.
• Look for clean equal highs/lows within the box.

3) London Breakout Rules

1. Wait for a stop-hunt into one side of the Asian box.
2. Enter on a break and close back through the box with rising volume or range expansion.
3. Stop: beyond the sweep wick + a buffer of 0.5×ATR(M15).
4. TP1: opposite side of the box; TP2: 1.5–2.0R or next HTF level.

4) New York Retest Entry

1. During NY open, wait for a pullback to the London breakout level or FVG.
2. Enter with limit; invalidate if M15 closes beyond the level.
3. Manage as a continuation: partial at 1R, trail below swing lows/highs.

5) Filters & Avoid Zones

• Avoid trading 5–10 minutes before red news.
• If ADX(14) < 15 on H1, reduce targets or skip.
• Skip if spread widens > 2× usual.

6) Risk & Trade Management

• Risk 0.5% per idea; two attempts max.
• Daily stop at −2R; walk away after hit.
• Log slippage and spread for every fill.

7) Checklist

• Asian box drawn and clean.
• Sweep + displacement confirmed.
• News window clear.
• Orders placed with predefined stops and targets.
