Asia range fade during London-NY overlap: rules and filters
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2026 12:45 pm
Fading the Asia range into London–NY overlap only works with filters; without them it is a hobby.
Asia builds a box. Overlap sometimes breaks it for real and sometimes fakes traders who faded the first tick. I need evidence of failed continuation or a clear reclaim before I treat the fade as business.
Filters I insist on
1. Spread inside London–NY cap — no fade into a wide quote.
2. No Tier-1 US print inside the next blackout window.
3. Invalidation beyond the Asia extreme written before entry, not after pain.
If the break looks initiative-heavy, I stand aside or look for continuation instead of arguing with the tape.
How do you decide Asia-range fade versus overlap continuation when both narratives are loud?
I log fades and continuations under different tags so Sunday does not blend two strategies into one fake expectancy. Overlap is busy enough without letting the journal lie about which playbook paid.
If both fade and continuation filters fail, standing aside is the trade. Overlap will not run out of candles.
