London Session Gold Trading Tips
London session gold trading strategies and tips. The London session drives the most volume in XAUUSD. Learn how to trade it effectively.
Most guides are written by people who trade from London or New York. This one is written from Asian sessions.
London Open Momentum
Choosing a broker is the single most important decision you will make as a trader. I spent months testing before I opened my first real account — and I still got it wrong. Here is what I wish someone had told me: regulation first, spreads second, everything else is noise.
London-NY Overlap
The Asian session is great for range trading. The London session has the highest volume. The NY session has the most volatility. I trade NY because I prefer volatility over volume. Choose your session based on your personality, not your schedule.
Key Levels Strategy
My best trades come from the same setup every time: price touches a Fibonacci level during NY session with a clear invalidation point. When I see this, I enter. When I do not, I wait.
I have been trading XAUUSD for over a decade. Everything in this guide comes from real trades at my desk in Singapore — not from textbooks. Here is what I have learned.

London Session Gold Trading
The London session handles the highest volume of XAUUSD trades globally.
Why London Matters
- Over 40% of daily gold volume
- Key economic data releases (UK, EU)
- Sets the tone for NY session
- Highest liquidity = tightest spreads
Last year I started trading London session exclusively. Honestly? Best decision I ever made. The volatility during London open is incredible — 600-1000 pip ranges that you just don't see in Asian session. Frustrating at first, sure, but once you learn the rhythm it's amazing. Personally, I'd never go back to trading any other session full-time. Incredible. Frustrating.
