Agreed on the session filter — silver without liquidity is just a wide bid/ask wearing a chart.

Desk habit on XAG: I only look for sweep-and-reclaim during London into the overlap, and I flat or size down ahead of US Tier-1 metals-sensitive prints. Automated impulse + sweep logic is only as good as the book underneath it; Asia thin books have stopped more "perfect" silver signals for me than wrong direction.

Spread discipline matters more than the indicator label. If live spread is already half the intended scalp, the setup is invalid even if the sweep candle is textbook. The MT4 NormaliseDouble note is real scar tissue — invalid stops on metals will ruin a morning faster than a bad fade.

Are you requiring the sweep to print inside the active session window, or allowing Asia structure to arm a London entry?

Silver without a session filter is a wide spread wearing a chart. From Frankfurt I only look at XAG when London depth is there, and I treat live spread as part of the setup.

Prop blackouts around Tier-1 metals-sensitive prints are not optional colour — they are survival.

Do you require the idea to print inside your active window, or allow Asia structure to arm a London entry?

I also log refused tickets so flat time counts as work — otherwise the desk invents activity.

Boring survival beats a clever recovery that spends the week’s DD band.

Topic note from my sheet for t=46: keep risk unchanged until the sample says otherwise.
