INTRODUCTION

• The foreign exchange market has the largest
  liquidity of any market with approx. 5.7 trillion
  dollars being traded every day. In order to
  succeed, traders must consider several factors
  before placing trades. It is important to
  understand the market hours and the best time to
  analyse the markets.
• What are the Major sessions?
• London Session, USA Session, London/US Overlap,
  Tokyo Session
• Minor Forex Market Hours
• Hong Kong, Sydney, Auckland, Frankfurt,
  Singapore
• As soon as one market closes, another opens
  simultaneously, therefore, keeping everything
  uniform and making it a 24-hour market. When the
  market overlaps, this is the busiest time and the
  highest volume of trades are executed.

UNDERSTANDING TRADING SESSIONS

• Currency pairs will vary in the way they are
  volatile at different parts of the day due to the
  demographics of traders who are trading at that
  time. The market generally gets split into three
  main sessions.
• The European Trading Session
• The North American Trading Session
• The Asian Trading Session

THE BEST TIME TO TRADE THE MARKET

• Some of the best traders will tell you the first
  few hours of a trading session are best to trade
  due to increased trend, momentum and retracements
  in price action.
• Also, on the hour of each hour and 5 minutes just
  before provides good volatility for taking
  positions.
• You will also find this time period to be best in
  dealers spreads due to the high frequency of
  trading at this time.

5
WHEN NOT TO TRADE

• Do not trade when there is low liquidity, this is
  generally around Midnight to 2am GMT. Low
  liquidity can cause unusual volatility and cause
  markets to hit your stop losses quicker.
