Do You Trade During the Right Forex Market Hours? Let’s Talk Timing

Hey traders,

Quick question when do you usually trade forex, and why?
I’ve seen so many new traders ignore market hours completely, but it honestly makes a huge difference in volatility, spreads, and opportunities.

Here’s a quick breakdown for those still figuring it out:

Sydney Session – Kicks off the week, but pretty slow.
Tokyo Session – Good for JPY pairs, but still calmer than others.
London Session – One of the most active sessions, lots of volume.
New York Session – Pairs with USD get wild here.
London–New York Overlap – This is where the real action happens!

Personally, I prefer the London–New York overlap. The volatility and liquidity are perfect for price action setups. But I’m curious…

  1. What’s your favorite session to trade and why?
  2. Do you adjust your strategy depending on the time of day?
