Hey @alldaylong, in my opinion, the best time to trade really depends on the currency pair you're focusing on. Each pair has its own peak times when volatility and liquidity are higher.
For example, if you're trading the EUR/USD pair, you should consider the overlap between the London and New York sessions. This usually happens between 8 AM and 12 PM EST. During this time, both the European and American markets are open, which leads to higher volatility and more trading opportunities in my experience.
That makes sense. So, for EUR/USD, the best time would be during that overlap period. Does it apply to other pairs as well?
Yes, it does, but the peak times can vary. For example, pairs that include the JPY often see more action during the Tokyo session. So it's really about aligning your trading times with the active market hours for the currencies you're trading. Hope this helps!
Got it, thanks for the tips guys.
