Killzones

Volatility concentrates around session opens: London (~07:00-10:00 UTC) and New York (~12:00-15:00 UTC). ICT calls these killzones — windows where clean moves often form.

Setup / filter

Trade your setups inside these windows; avoid dead hours (late US, pre-London). This is a time filter, not a signal by itself.

Good vs bad

Good: a valid structure shift during London killzone. Bad: forcing trades at 22:00 UTC in thin liquidity.
