Session Profile

What it teaches

Reading a day as a sequence of sessions, with an invalidation level.

• Reading what London did to the Asia range: took one side, both sides, or closed outside neither.
• Three session profiles and the facts that define each.
• Every read needs an invalidation level decided in advance.
• How session windows are used for planning, not prediction.

How a round plays

1. A day of candles is shown up to the New York open, with Asia and London shaded and one prior-day high or low drawn.
2. Pick the profile. Continuation: London trades beyond one side of the Asia range, then a candle closes beyond the other side. Reversal: London leaves Asia on one side only and trades through the prior-day level. Consolidation: no London candle closes outside the Asia range.
3. Drag the line to the level that would prove the read wrong: the London extreme behind it. For consolidation either London extreme counts.
4. New York then prints. In the game it follows the profile so you can see the idea, and you are graded on reading the rule, never on what New York did.
5. A run is eight simulated days and takes about five minutes.

How it is graded

The profile is graded against the stated rule about which sides of Asia London traded beyond, where it closed, and whether it reached the prior-day level. The invalidation line is graded against the exact London high or low behind the read, within one pip.
