What are Asian sessions
There are generally four main trading sessions: the Sydney session, Tokyo session,
London Session, and the New York session. Both the Sydney and Tokyo
sessions are customarily referred to as Asian sessions. This is why Forex is usually
referred to as the 3-session market: Asian, London, and New York.
Although Gold, like the rest of the forex market, is tradable 24/5, it is traded the most during
