fakeout_ny is the New York-session variant of the fake-out
pattern: a sweep of overnight high/low during the NY killzone that
reverses back through the swept level. Popular in ICT-style
strategies that hunt for the daily liquidity grab.

}Pitfalls
- Session windows are UTC-relative. Confirm your timezone math before deploying.
- Highly specialized - works best around the NY-session liquidity grab. Quality depends on the symbol; verify against historical fires before deploying.
