Session
A session is a period of the trading day defined by market opening hours, such as the London, New York or Asia sessions in forex. Volatility, liquidity and your own availability vary by session, and so does your performance. Reviewing results by session often reveals large differences in edge that are invisible in aggregate numbers. A journal that records the session of each trade makes that comparison possible. DuskAnalyst captures session context and lets you filter win rate, profit factor and drawdown by session, so you can see where your edge actually lives.
Why it matters for your trading journal: Sessions - London, New York, Asia - carry different volatility and behavior, and most traders perform differently across them. Logging the session makes that pattern visible and actionable.
Example: Example: a trader who wins on London opens but loses on Asian sessions can simply trade fewer hours and improve the equity curve.
