Understanding Trading Time Zones

Why Time Zones Matter

  • Market overlaps create high volume periods
  • Economic news releases affect specific sessions
  • Currency pairs are most active during their respective market hours
  • Risk management requires knowing when markets close

Major Market Sessions

  • Sydney: Lowest volatility, AUD pairs active
  • Tokyo: Asian currencies, JPY pairs dominate
  • London: Highest volatility, EUR/GBP pairs
  • New York: USD pairs, economic data releases

Best Trading Times

  • London-NY Overlap: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET
  • Sydney-Tokyo Overlap: 7:00 PM - 2:00 AM ET
  • Tokyo-London Overlap: 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM ET (minimal overlap)
  • Avoid Sunday evenings and Friday nights
