The 6:30–11:00 AM PT window where US equity volume concentrates — the only session LA Traders trades.
The New York Session is the highest-volume trading window of the day, when US equity markets are open and institutional participation peaks. For LA Traders (on Pacific time), the tradeable window runs from the 6:30 AM PT open through roughly 11:00 AM PT, when the morning move completes and chop sets in. The edge of the session is structural: real volume, real moves, real liquidity. The overnight session sets the table; New York eats.
Amateurs trade all day and donate to the chop. Professionals trade the four hours that matter and walk away. The window is the edge.
You take your A+ short at 6:52, hit your Run target at 7:40, journal the trade, and close the platform at 8:00. Done for the day. That's the session discipline.
The New York session is the only session the Protocol covers. From 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM ET, volume concentrates and the Reveal-Retrace-Run cycle repeats — this is where LA Traders trades.
