  4. Follow the tradeWhen a setup fires you get ▲ / ▼, its range box, the stop and the targets, managed the same way as in the test.
  5. Get the alerts🔔 Alerts → add Killzone to My alerts: long, short and trade closed, plus “a killzone opens” if you like.

The six session setups

  • London / New York Opening Range: the first close outside the opening range (08:00 UK / 09:30 New York).
  • Asia Range Break: London breaks the Asia session’s high or low (07:00–12:00 UK).
  • London Close Fade: at 16:00 UK, fade a day that has moved more than 2–3 ATR from its open.
  • New York Close Momentum and Yesterday’s High / Low from the London or New York open.

Tested on our own price history after spreads, re-checked on 2 Nov 2026: profit factors 1.26 to 2.13, and both halves of the history had to pass. Best: AUDNZD London Close Fade, 270 trades. Markets: AUDNZD, CADJPY, EURAUD, EURCHF, GBPCHF, GBPUSD, USDCHF, GER40, oil, natural gas, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP.

Good to know

  • Only what passed: on gold, US30 and NAS100 no session setup has passed yet, so you get the clock and bands only.
  • Want to study the sessions anyway? ⚙ → untested setups shows them faded. They are not tested.
  • Sessions follow the clocks: London and New York change their clocks on different weekends.

Good questions for ✨ Explain

  • “Which killzone is open, and what usually happens in it?”
  • “What is tested on this market?”
  • “Why did Killzone take this trade?”

Golden rules

  • Tested is not guaranteed: losing runs happen.
  • Never move the stop further away.
  • Risk 1% or less per trade.
Tip: news inside a killzone moves fast. The AI Optimiser pauses around red-folder news; let it.
