Forex market is open 24 hours a day. It provides a great opportunity for traders to trade any time of the day or at night. However, although it seems to be not very important at the beginning, the right time to trade is one of the most crucial points to be successful in trading at the forex market. So, when should one consider trading and why?

The best time to trade is when the market is the most active and therefore has the biggest volume of trades. More active currency moves will create a good chance to catch the trade and make some profit. A calm, slow market is literally wasting of time — turn off your computer and don’t even bother!

 

What to trade, when to trade

During the 24 hours period currency pairs in Forex market experience several hours, when the volume of trades is the highest and so is the pip movement.

Below are Forex market sessions and examples of the most active currency pairs:

London/ New York sessions:

EUR/USD USD/CHF GBP/USD

Tokyo/Sydney sessions:

EUR/JPY AUD/USD USD/JPY AUD/JPY

Sydney session:

AUD/USD EUR/USD

During the week the most active Forex trading days are: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Sundays (opening) and Mondays are days when traders are mostly watching and analyzing the market and predict further price moves. Fridays are traded approximately till noon, after that all actions slow down and almost freeze before the actual market closing at 5 pm EST.

 

Some currencies tend to move in the same direction, some — in opposite. This is a powerful knowledge for those who trade more than one currency pair. It helps to hedge, diversify or double profitable positions.

Statistically measured by performance, currency pairs are given so called “correlation coefficients” from +1 to -1. A correlation of +1 means two currency pairs will move in the same direction 100% of the time. A correlation of -1 means they will move in the opposite direction 100% of the time. A correlation of zero means no relation between currency pairs exists

 

Examples of same direction moving currency pairs are:

•

EUR/USD and GBP/USD EUR/USD and NZD/USD USD/CHF and USD/JPY AUD/USD and GBP/USD AUD/USD and EUR/USD

•

Inversely moving pairs are:

•

EUR/USD and USD/CHF GBP/USD and USD/JPY GBP/USD and USD/CHF AUD/USD and USD/CAD AUD/USD and USD/JPY
