that you will find a trade, whenever your look for it.
During each trading day, the total Forex "volume" is determined by the number of markets that are open and the times each of these markets overlap one another.
Forex market volume of transactions remains high during the whole day, but peaks highest when the Asian market(including Australia & New Zealand), the European market and the U.S. market are open simultaneously. And these are the trading hours you must target in order to find the highest possible amount of profitable trades.
This is the breakdown of OPEN Market Times for your reference:
* New York Market trade times: 8am-4pm EST * London Market trade times: 2am-12Noon EST * Great Britain Market trade times: 3am-11am EST * Tokyo Market trade times: 8pm-4am EST * Australia Market trade times: 7pm-3am EST
If you pay attention to the last schedule you will notice that there are two times when two of the major markets overlap during trading hours; between 2am and 4am EST (Asian/European) and between 8am to 12pm EST(European/N. American).
So here you have it, if you want to find a great number of profitable trades, focus on the hours when the markets tend to make their biggest moves, i.e., during these big markets overlaps, which therefore, are usually the Best Times to Trade.
