Trading the Sessions — AXIOM Education Series Book 3
LEVEL 2 · TIMING · BOOK 3
Picks up exactly where Trading From Zero II (Book 2) leaves off. The smallest next question after you can read a chart and size a trade: when is the market actually worth trading?
The currency market is open all week but only busy part of each day, because it follows the working hours of four cities. Trade in the quiet hours and every trade costs more, fills worse, and moves for no reason. This book is about the clock — and about the hours to leave alone.
- Liquidity and volatility in plain words, and why your broker's spread is a live reading of both
- The four centres — Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York — in UTC, your local time, and your platform's own clock
- The overlaps, including the London–New York money window, with the arithmetic of what a wider spread does to your breakeven
- What each session tends to feel like: Asia ranges, London breaks, New York continues or turns
- Which pairs come alive when, and why a pair has two home sessions
- Six windows to stay out of: the daily rollover, the late-Asian chop, the late New York fade, the weekend gap, public holidays and major news
- Choosing your own two-hour window and filling in the blank left in Book 2's trading plan
- Proving it on your own record by tagging every journal entry with its session and hour
Includes a printable session card, a glossary and sources. Pairs with the free AXIOM Session Clock on this site, which shows all four sessions in your own time with holidays marked.
