Hi Fairman,
yeah i see that in very similar way.
Im not session trader as well.
I do not watch if it is London or NYC session, simple what works for me is to understand if the price is good.

Fair pushback — and I would not defend “London always prints the same pattern” either. That is holy-grail thinking, and it fails.
I use the session as a
filter, not as a prophecy. Liquidity, spreads, and attention are better inside the London fence; that does not mean every open will rhyme. Patterns need not repeat candle-for-candle for a fence to be useful — you choose when you may take risk, not claim the market owes you a setup.
On this desk the London playbook is shortlist, grade, and hard invalidation inside written hours. No A+ setup means flat. Switching methods every week resets the sample; one fence lets you learn whether
your process works when the book is tradeable.
Gentle rule:
session = attention and liquidity filter, not a repeating pattern promise. If you reject London-only, how do you still gate when you may click versus only review?
