Forex market is open 24 hours a day. It provides a great opportunity for traders to trade at any time of
the day or night. However, when it seems to be not so important at the beginning, the right time to trade is
one of the most crucial points in becoming a successful Forex trader.
So, when should one consider trading and why?
The best time to trade is when the market is the most active and therefore has the biggest volume of
trades. Actively traded markets will create a good chance to catch a good trading opportunity and make
profits. While calm slow markets would literally waste your time & efforts turn off your computer and
don't even bother!

London opens at 3:00 am to 12:00 noon EST (EDT)

And so, there are hours when two sessions overlap:

New York and London: between 8:00 am 12:00 noon EST (EDT)
Sydney and Tokyo: between 7:00 pm 2:00 am EST (EDT)
London and Tokyo: between 3:00 am 4:00am EST (EDT)
For example, trading EUR/USD, GBP/USD currency pairs would give good results between 8:00 am and
12:00 noon EST when two markets for those currencies are active.
At those overlapping trading hours you'll find the highest volume of trades and therefore more chances to
win in the foreign currency exchange market.
What about your Forex broker?
Your broker will offer a trading platform wih a certain time frame (the time frame will depend on the
country where broker operates).
When focusing on market hours, you should ignore the time frame on your platform (in most cases it'll be
irrelevant), and instead use the universal clock (EST/EDT) or the Market Hours Monitor to identify trading
sessions.
If you haven't chosen a Forex broker yet, we recommend Forex brokers comparison to aid your search.
