NY AM Session
Also: NY Open Kill Zone · NY Kill Zone · NYKZ · New York AM
Definition
ICT's premium trading window during the New York morning session — the highest-probability intraday window for index futures setups. Anchored around the 9:30 AM cash open and the pre-market news-driven displacement.
Common mistakes
- Trading every move during the zone — the window is a filter, not a signal.
- Entering before 8:30 news resolves — premarket is manipulation-heavy.
- Missing that 7:00 AM is the start — not 8:30 or 9:30.
