Why the Asian Session Sets the Range
To understand the best hours to run Goldie Razor, you need to understand its three-phase operation that maps directly to the three major trading sessions:
Phase 1 — Range Measurement
00:00–07:00 GMTGoldie Razor monitors the H1 chart and records the high and low of the Asian session consolidation. This defines the range that London institutions will eventually break. The wider and cleaner this range, the higher quality the subsequent breakout signal.
Phase 2 — Order Placement
07:00–08:00 GMTThe EA calculates breakout levels above the Asian high and below the Asian low. Buy stop and sell stop orders are placed at these levels with predefined SL and TP. The EA is armed and waiting for London to fire.
Phase 3 — Breakout Execution
08:00–10:00 GMTWhen London institutional order flow breaks above or below the Asian range, the pending order triggers. Goldie Razor's protection system manages the trade automatically — including breakeven, trailing stop, and auto-cleanup of the unfilled opposite order.
Friday Cutoff Rules for Goldie Razor
Normal session rules apply. London open and early NY setups are valid.
Consider halving lot size. Volume declining, risk-reward deteriorating.
Cancel any unfilled buy stop / sell stop orders. Only manage existing open trades.
Set in EA parameters as the Friday end time. Goldie Razor will close any remaining positions and disable new entry logic until Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Start the EA before 07:00 GMT to measure the Asian range. Primary execution window: 08:00–10:00 GMT (London open). Secondary window: 13:30–17:00 GMT (NY session if London was flat). Disable new entries Friday after 20:00 GMT.
Goldie Razor uses the H1 price range formed during the Asian session (00:00–07:00 GMT) to define its breakout levels. Without this quiet consolidation period, the EA cannot calculate meaningful high/low boundaries for the pending orders.
V2.8.4 uses M15 range detection (more granular than V2's H1) and adds an H4 EMA filter that checks overall trend direction before any breakout trade is executed. This means V2.8.4 is more selective about which London open breakouts it takes based on the current H4 trend.
Disable new entries after 20:00 GMT Friday. The EA has a built-in Friday cutoff parameter. Leaving pending buy/sell stop orders open over the weekend risks them triggering at a large gap on the Sunday open — often with extreme spread and slippage.
Yes, but the NY session is secondary for Goldie Razor. Its primary edge is the London breakout of the Asian range. The NY window is only valid if the London session was flat and the Asian range remains intact. If London already broke one side, cancel the opposing pending order.
