Forex trading is open 24 hours a day, five days a week, in four major time zones around the world, but not all hours are the same. Knowing when to trade forex is an important factor to greatly improve your trading strategy and profits.
Forex Market Sessions
The forex market operates in four major markets:
Sydney Session (10:00 PM – 7:00 AM GMT):
This session is generally quieter with reduced volatility.
It is highly suitable for trading AUD, NZD.
Tokyo Session (12:00 AM – 9:00 AM GMT):
It’s active for JPY and other Asian pairs.
It’s helpful for trend and breakout traders as it provides them with many opportunities.
London Session (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM GMT):
High liquidity plus volatility
Because of overlap with New York, the London Session becomes very apt for major FX pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
New York Session (1:00 PM – 10:00 PM GMT):
This session is the second most active after London. Overlaps with the London session for the first few hours, making it good for trading pairs in USD.
