The desk's session rules
· The desk only enters inside its windows: 06:00–11:00 (USDJPY, GER40, XAUUSD) and 13:30–20:00 UTC (NAS100, XAUUSD).
· The first 30 minutes of a window are locked: let the open print its range before trusting a zone.
· No entry in the 45 minutes before a HIGH event; a target across the event is a coin toss.
· A session is a factor, never a signal: the pattern, the zone grade and the Trade Box still gate every entry.
