Trading times |
|
Although
the forex market is open 24 hours per day there are certain
times which are better to trade than others.
The best
time to trade forex is when the markets for the main currency
pairs are open. Find a time when both markets on a certain
currency pair is open at the same time (overlapping times).
The market will have much more volatility in these times.
Trading
EUR/USD when the American market is open but European market
close will lead to a very slow move and not much excitement.
Look for times when the trading times overlap. Those will
be your best times to trade Forex.
