Killzone (ICT)
A killzone is a time window — popularized by the ICT method — during which institutional volume concentrates, around the London and New York opens. It’s not a signal but a time filter: the same setup doesn’t carry the same weight inside it as outside it. The classic windows are fixed in New York time — which, for a French trader, means 8am–11am (London) and 1pm–4pm (New York) for most of the year, one hour earlier during the short periods when the US shifted clocks before Europe did. Detailed hours, clock changes, and crypto application: the full killzones guide.
