Here's something worth knowing about Asian session liquidity pools and how London traders use them. During the Asian session, retail stop-loss orders cluster above the Asian high and below the Asian low. Institutional players who've built positions during Asia need to fill those orders — so at the London open, they often engineer a move to just beyond the Asian range extreme to trigger those stops. For retail traders, this means: - Don't place your stop just beyond the Asian high/low — that's exactly where it'll get hit - Instead, watch for the London "sweep" of the Asian range, then look for a reversal back inside - The reversal after the sweep is often the actual London direction trade I've tested this on EUR/USD and GBP/USD over 3 months — the Asian range sweep happens in the first 30 minutes of London about 60% of days where the Asian range was 30 pips or less. Have you noticed this pattern in your trading?
