How to read this
Each morning we mark the Asia box (00:00 to 06:00 UK) and watch what London and New York do with its high and low. A quick raid that comes straight back inside is a liquidity sweep we can trade back the other way. Price that keeps closing beyond the level is a breakout we leave alone. The full rules are in the Asia range strategy guide.
