Rationale: Monday London can be messy; by the overlap, if a directional impulse exists and held a pullback, participation sometimes improves enough for a short continuation scalp. I do not mix in fades the same day on that cross. Narrow playbooks are easier to review than kitchen-sink Mondays.
Half size versus mid-week. Hard time stop. If Monday London was dead, the overlap idea is cancelled — I do not invent unfinished business because the clock says New York. Spreads must behave; Monday cross spreads can quietly erase the edge.
If the idea works, fine. If not, the week still has Tuesday. That sentence alone has been useful.
Writing it as Monday-only also stops me dragging a weak idea into Tuesday out of habit.
- Anyone else weekday-constrain overlap ideas?
- EURJPY specifically — worth it or better left alone on Mondays?
