Traders looking to refine their forex strategy and improve entry confirmations during the London session.
TL;DR
Learn an advanced London sweep strategy with a 75% win rate, focusing on daily candle movements and specific timing windows. This step-by-step method addresses common issues like double sweeps for higher probability trades.
Key Takeaways
- The London sweep strategy relies on identifying Asian range consolidation, followed by a market sweep and subsequent entry, but can be complicated by double sweeps.
- The daily candle's movement provides a foundational understanding, dictating lower timeframe price action and potential trading opportunities around the daily high and low.
- A high-quality trade setup involves positioning around the daily low, specifically after a sweep below the daily open, aligning with London or New York session volatility.
- The optimal trading window for this strategy is between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM BST (3:00 AM - 5:00 AM EST), with some flexibility on either side.
- When faced with two sweeps (one above, one below the Asian range), wait for a clear break of structure in one direction before looking for entries on the pullback.
- Confirmation for entries doesn't always require a full engulfing candle on lower timeframes; a wick can suffice if the higher timeframe shows engulfment.
- Avoid entering on the first engulfing candle after a pullback to a supply zone; wait for consolidation and a clear, decisive engulfing candle moving away from the zone.
