Asian rangeIntermediate
The high and low made during the quieter Asian session, often swept in the London or New York morning.
What it means
Because the Asian session is usually calm, its range is clean and obvious. Many London models wait for one side of it to be taken and then trade the reversal.
How to spot it
- Mark the high and low from roughly 00:00 to 06:00 London time.
Common mistakes
- Using the range on days with major news, when it is often meaningless.
How WickCheck tests it
Between 07:00 and 10:00 London time, wait for a sweep of the Asia high or low, then wait for a fair value gap. Enter on the FVG. Stop above the sweep. Target liquidity, at least 2R.
