summary: the session setting on WIP recalculates historical data and filters active setups based on the trading window you select — here's how to pick the right one.

the session dropdown on WIP isn't just a filter — it does 2 things at once.

first, it recalculates the historical data for every report on the dashboard based on that session. so if you switch from NY to London, you're now seeing how price has behaved historically during London hours — not NY hours.

second, it filters the active setups you see on WIP to match that session's time window. setups that aren't active during your selected session won't show.

the result: switching sessions gives you a completely different picture of the market — because you're asking a different question.

WIP comes with 3 built-in sessions — these are the only sessions available on what's in play:

to switch sessions, use the session dropdown at the top of the WIP dashboard.

custom sessions are not supported on what's in play. if you've created custom sessions elsewhere on edgeful (like on individual report pages), those won't appear in the WIP session dropdown. WIP is limited to the 3 built-in sessions listed above.

this comes down to what you trade and when you trade it.

NY session is the right default for most futures traders — ES, NQ, RTY, and YM. the bulk of volume and movement happens here, and the data reflects that.

London session matters if you trade the early morning open or if you're focused on currency futures and gold markets that are more active during European hours. a gap fill setup in London hours is measuring something different than the same setup in NY — different time window and different historical behaviour.

Asian session is most relevant if you trade overnight, trade commodities like GC or CL during Asian market hours, or are based in Asia or Australia and trading your local session.

the numbers will look different across sessions—that's expected and intentional. always run WIP on the session that matches your actual trading window.

all session times on WIP are displayed in Eastern Time (ET). the built-in sessions automatically adjust for daylight saving time — you don't need to manually update them when the clocks change.
