London session

The European morning session (~8am–12pm, Paris): the European open, the FDAX liquidity peak and the first real flow of the day.

The London session covers the European open. On the FDAX it's the richest window: European data drops, session extremes take shape, and the book shows its first real intentions. Many traders prefer it to the US session: same order-flow patterns, less algorithmic noise, and it frees up the afternoon. It's the natural slot of our FDAX session journal.

Example

8:55am on the FDAX: liquidity stacks below the open → the first London-session move often goes to grab it.
