Best Times of Day to Trade Forex

Logically, you would think that this happens during the overlap between the two sessions. Check the characteristics below:

Tokyo – London Overlap: 

• Liquidity during this session is pretty thin for a few reasons. Typically, there isn’t as much movement during the Asian session.

London – New York Overlap: 

• Liquidity is at an optimum level around 10am and 3pm London time (10am NY time).
• It is during this period where we can see some big moves, especially when news reports from the U.S. and Canada are released.
• If any trends were established during the European session, we could see the trend continue.
