Why it works

Liquidity is highest when the big financial centres are open. Outside those hours, moves are slower and less reliable.

How to use it

Concentrate your trades in London and New York hours. Use the quiet Asian range as a reference: its high and low are often swept at the London open.

The typical mistake

Forcing trades at 3 a.m. New York time, when nothing is moving.
