What's the best time to trade GBP/USD in your opinion? This currency pair could appreciate when the Fed starts cutting interest rates.

For me, the best time has always been during the London and New York sessions overlap. So, like, 8 AM to 12 PM EST. That's when you get the most action.

Interesting. I've heard that overlap is pretty intense. Have you got any stories from trading then?

Oh man, plenty. I remember this one time, I was trading during that overlap and saw the markets move in my favour when a news story dropped. It was wild. Ended up making a nice chunk of profit in like 15 minutes. Felt like a rockstar!

Haha, that sounds epic! I usually trade in the mornings EST, but I guess I’ve been missing out on the big moves. Ever had any losses trading at that time?

For sure. There was this one time I got too cocky. Thought I had the trend nailed, but a surprise economic report flipped the market. Lost a bit on that one. Learned the hard way to always keep an eye on the news calendar, and avoid making large bets around that time.
