Killzone

Updated 2026-09-20

Definition

Time windows in which the ICT approach looks for setups: Asia, London, New York and the London close.

Why it matters

They are hours of higher liquidity and volatility. They must be converted carefully with daylight saving (the US and Europe change clocks on different dates) and checked on your own data.

Practical example

London 02:00-05:00 ET corresponds to about 07:00-10:00 UK time when the US and Europe share the same clock regime.
