Timing

Overview

The Timing section provides insight into when market structure forms and completes by displaying two key visualizations:

  1. Session Start/End – Shows the percentage of selected structures that started and ended during each of the three major trading sessions:

    • Asia

    • London

    • New York

  2. Time of Completion – Displays when structures completed, broken down by:

    • Days of the Week

    • Hours of the Day

These graphs help traders identify time-based patterns in structural behavior.

Key Features

  1. Session Start/End Graph

    • Breaks down structural occurrences by trading session.

    • Shows how many selected structures began and ended during Asia, London, or New York sessions.

  2. Time of Completion Graph

    • Displays the distribution of structure completions by day of the week and hour of the day.

    • Helps highlight time-based patterns in market structure behavior.

Why This Data is Meaningful for Traders

  1. Identifies When Structural Movements Are Most Likely to Begin and End

    • If a high percentage of structures start and end during specific sessions, traders can align their focus with those sessions.

    • Helps traders understand which sessions contribute most to market structure formation and completion.

  2. Highlights Potential Timing Patterns for Entry & Exit Optimization

    • If a majority of structures complete at a specific time of day, traders may refine their execution timing.

    • Identifying which trading sessions or hours produce the most structure changes can help traders avoid low-probability times.

  3. Avoids Trading During Inefficient Market Hours

    • If data shows that structure rarely forms or completes during certain times (e.g., late U.S. session or pre-Asia), traders can avoid low activity periods.

    • Helps prevent unnecessary exposure during low-liquidity conditions when price movement is less reliable.

  4. Supports Time-Based Strategy Refinement

    • Some traders rely on session-based strategies—this data provides an objective, statistical basis for optimizing their approach.

    • Helps confirm whether a trader’s existing execution timing aligns with historical structure behavior.

Practical Use

  • Focus trading during sessions with the highest structural completion rates.

  • Refine trade timing by understanding which hours or days see the most structure completions.

  • Avoid trading low-probability hours, reducing exposure to poor market conditions.

By providing objective timing data, this section helps traders improve trade execution efficiency and overall market awareness.
