Time Zone Trading

Understanding Time Zone Trading

• Time zone trading involves the strategic consideration of when markets are most active based on their geographical locations.
• Different trading sessions, primarily the Asian, London, and New York sessions, have varying levels of volatility and opportunities.
• Traders can optimize their strategies by aligning trading activities with these active periods to enhance profit potential.

Impact of Trading Sessions

• The Asian session generally starts at 1:00 AM (GMT) and is known for lower volatility but can present unique trading opportunities.
• London's session runs from around 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM (GMT), known for high volatility and significant price movements.
• The New York session overlaps with London, peaking from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM (GMT), creating opportunities due to merged market activities.
