SIGNAL FREQUENCY SCORE · 85/100

London open

Definition

8am–10am GMT. The highest-liquidity window of the global trading day for FX and metals. Breakouts during this window with volume confirmation carry significantly higher follow-through rates than the same pattern at other times.

How Sigmentum uses it

London accounts for roughly 38% of global FX volume. When London opens, participants who built positions overnight — or are reacting to overnight news — all become simultaneously active. The price discovery in this window reflects genuine institutional order flow. The first 15 minutes are the trap zone: false breakouts that take out retail stops before the real move begins. A signal that triggers in the first 15 minutes should be entered only after a confirmed candle close.
