Quick pop quiz! What time of the day are TV ratings highest? If you said during prime time, then you would be correct! What does this have to do with trading sessions? Well, just like TV, “ratings” (a.k.a. liquidity) are at their highest when there are more people participating in the markets. So when is the best time to trade forex? Logically, you would think that this happens during the overlap between the two sessions. If you thought that way, you’d only be half-right. Let’s discuss some of the characteristics of the two overlap sessions to see why. Tokyo – London Overlap Liquidity during this session is pretty thin for […]
いつFX取引ができるか:ニューヨーク・セッション
Right as European traders are getting back from their lunch breaks, the U.S. session begins at 8:00 am EST as traders start rolling into the office.

Just when Asian market participants are starting to close shop, their European counterparts are just beginning their day. While there are several financial centers all around Europe, it is London that market participants keep their eyes on. Historically, London has always been at a center of trade, thanks to its strategic location. Today, London benefits from its time zone. London’s morning overlaps with late trading in Asia and London’s afternoon overlap with New York City. It’s no wonder that it is considered the forex capital of the world with thousands of folks making transactions every single minute. About 43% of all forex transactions happen in London. Some traders also refer to the London session […]
いつFX取引ができるか:東京セッション
For traders living in Murica (“America”), the trading day actually begins on Sunday night at 5:00 pm EST (10:00 pm GMT). However, liquidity doesn’t really show up until Tokyo opens a few hours later. The opening of the Tokyo session at 12:00 am GMT marks the start of currency trading in Asia. You should take note that the Tokyo session is sometimes referred to as the Asian session. We built a Forex Market Hours tool that will automatically convert all four trading sessions in your local time zone. Use it as a reference until you remember the market hours from memory. One thing worth noting is that Japan is the third-largest forex trading center in the […]

Now that you know what forex is, why you should trade it, and who makes up the forex market, it’s about time you learned when you can trade. It’s time to learn about the different forex trading sessions. Yes, it is true that the forex market is open 24 hours a day, but that doesn’t mean it’s always active the entire day. You can make money trading when the market moves up, and you can even make money when the market moves down. BUT you will have a very difficult time trying to make money when the market doesn’t move at all. And believe us, there will be times when the market is as still as the victims of Medusa. This […]
