Thread: What are the best hours to operate in Forex?

Okay, those are the best.If you operate in the Tokyo or Sydney session, you will find less volatility, which can be good for slower strategies.However, if you want action, London and New York are your best bets.

The ideal is to operate during the hours in which London and New York sessions overlap, because that is when the market is more active and there are more opportunities.The EUR/USD is very popular during this period, with broad movements and good spreads.

Exactly, when both sessions are open is when you will get the largest movements and the best liquidity.Avoid the hours where only the active Asian session is, unless you want to operate pairs such as aud/usd or jpy.

If you are looking for the best volatility, the openings of London and New York are the most important.Avoid intermediate hours, where the market tends to be quieter and the spreads can increase due to the lowest liquidity.

The openings of the sessions are also key to breaking levels.If your strategy depends on fast movements, focus at that time of the day.The rest of the time, the movements are usually more erratic and less predictable.
