What is the best time for trading Forex?

[Toosoul7]

The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, Monday-Friday, but the best time to trade Forex is when the world’s major stock markets are most active. The more traders are active in the market, the more volatile the market is – and the more volatile the market is, the easier it is to make profits.

The two cities with the largest financial markets in the world are New York and London, so the best time for South Africans to trade Forex is the crossover period when both the London and New York financial markets are open.

Trading Forex is a cyclic process. There are times when the market is trending. And then there are times when it's consolidating. Before you trade Forex, you must determine when the market is trending and when it's consolidating. The best thing to do is to start trading the Forex market when it is consolidating. This is what Forex traders call the base of the market cycle. It is a time when certain investors are taking their profits and then certain investors are taking their losses. This is the time when a lot of money is flowing in and out of the market. You will find that this is a time when the market price is more likely to go up. So, if you can get a better handle on knowing when the market is trending and when it is consolidating, you will be able to make much more money.

100% agree. Overlap of US and London exchanges will have the liquidity and volatility.

 

[GabrielFortran]

Volatility is usually higher on the West. But starting slow to learn more would probably be better in the long run.

 

[Manometer]

The best time to trade forex is whatever time you are most comfortable trading. You should never force yourself to trade if you're not feeling it. However, the overlap of the US and the UK sessions constitutes the time period when more than 50% of the trades occur.

Yes I agree with you. However there are 4 major exchanges in the world - New York, London, Sydney, and Tokyo. The best time can be anytime of these crossovers. However, as the JPY has not gained interest, many people are now not focusing on the Tokyo exchange.

Guys watch the killzones, especially London and NY, always keeping in mind the Tokyo session, which is very important for the start of the day's volatility, and focus on a single asset. The price usually makes certain patterns that can be very beneficial day after day.

Imo, the best time for trading is when the currency pair you are trading has right volatility and offers high liquidity.

But surely with greater volatility comes the risk of being stopped out?

 

[boquiman]

the best time for me is at the opening of the big markets: USA and ASIA. There is usually a lot of volatility and you can take advantage of it quite well
