Trading Hours

The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, but the most active periods occur during different time zones.

The most active times are the New York trading session, the European trading session, and the Asian trading session. As these locations represent the largest financial centers of each region, their trading hours overlap somewhat. These are the best times to trade currencies in Forex.

There are many factors to consider when deciding the best time to trade in the Forex market. Your lifestyle and style of trading will determine the best times to trade. For example, you may want to trade during the New York/London overlap. This overlap increases the market’s volatility and liquidity.
