The opening 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Eastern time (ET) period is frequently one of the finest hours of the day for the day trading, with the largest changes occurring in the smallest amount of time. Many professionals day traders stop trading around 11:30 a.m. because volatility and volume tend to decrease at that time.
EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD are the top three currency pairs to trade for beginners.
