Using the Asia Session to Frame London Context

Classify Asia as consolidation, directional delivery or unstable movement before enabling London setups.

Asia as a state classifier

The material separates several Asian-session behaviors: consolidation, directional order flow, and a less structured one-way move where the suggested response is simply to avoid forcing a London setup. This translates naturally into a session-state engine.

Different Asia, different London expectation

If Asia is directional and continues to respect a clear structural sequence, the London model may favor continuation rather than automatically fading the Asian range. If Asia is a compact range, a boundary sweep followed by confirmation can be treated as a different setup family.

Re-sweep protection

The source also warns that an initial liquidity sweep can be followed by another sweep before the actual directional move. For automation, this argues against entering on the first boundary violation without confirmation.

ASIA_STATE = RANGE | DIRECTIONAL | SKIP
if ASIA_STATE == RANGE:
    enable("LONDON_RANGE_SWEEP")
elif ASIA_STATE == DIRECTIONAL:
    enable("LONDON_CONTINUATION")
else:
    block_new_london_setup()
