What times do most of you trade at?

Most of the traders are unable to notice the moves in the Asian trading sessions. This will also happen as the traders are unaware of the timings and not actually prepared :slight_smile:

I usually trade during the London sessions however i really found it important that whenever i am mentally relaxed i make some good trades than those which are made when i am not mentally free.

May I know, what do you mean by luck in trading actually? Listen, Forex trading is my profession and I make money here based on my trading skill and knowledge, luck is not any issue here. Generally I avoid 1st session of Monday and last session of Friday. Actually, I want to trade with proper market flow that’s way, I avoid these two sessions.

Most forex traders are more successful during the late US, Asian or early European trading sessions.

Most of the time I avail London session , It suits me according to my time zone. My favorite time is after noon for trading. I some times do trading early in the morning not care what session it is . Just see when I got good market for trading.

I mainly trade the D1 & H4 time frames with price action…

Do you use any kind of indicators or you prefer pure price action?

i trade european hours. always log off before 8pm germany time

I only use the Stochastic with settings at 5 3 3
Currently I’m roughly at 90 pips profit on the AUDUSD & NZDUSD with a SELL trade on each.

Hi everyone. 1st time poster, long time lurker.

I usually trade the London/NY overlap in the morning and the beginning of the AUS session at 6PM here in Canada.

I’m a scalper so I like the overlap session of London and New York markets. Its the most volatile period and great for scalping.

I personally prefer to log in sometime at midnight. As titantron has said, H4 is a really effective time-frame. Works for me too.

As we all knows that market opens from Monday to Friday 24 hours and we can do our work according to our convenience, I does like to do my work after completing my first offline job, mostly I trade after 5 PM on Pakistan Standard Time.

I always look at the markets each evening but only place one or two trades a week. I spend most of my ‘analysis’ time at weekends looking once the candlesticks have closed on the day etc I also think as markets are not moving at that time, it helps me concentrate better. Honestly I think the best thing to do is find the right time frames that suit you. I started intra-day trading, lost money and so changed to trade on daily or weekly timeframes, less stressful!

Midnight (UK time) of each trading day (Monday to Friday) I place two OCO orders. A set and forget style of trading where I rely more on money management rather than being right more than 50% of the time.

I resist the urge to trade frequently. I know the serious consequences of greedily over-trading, it can wipe out your trading account in few seconds. Whenever I miss a trade, I don’t regret it. There will be plenty of opportunities other times.

New York opens at 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST (EDT)

Tokyo opens at 7:00 pm to 4:00 am EST (EDT)

Sydney opens at 5:00 pm to 2:00 am EST (EDT)

London opens at 3:00 am to 12:00 noon EST (EDT)

Its good to trade while having a proper trade management plan and if the required target is achieved we should not greed for more and instead take some time to review our trading pattern.

How do you define “frequently” though? Several times a day? I’m asking because in this context it has a pretty broad meaning.

scalper here, Morning, 5:30am, est to 8am est, limited action, need great attention to detail, then hit and miss thru 2pm, est, then at 5:30pm, est, total concentration thru 10pm, est. Going to be getting up at 4AM, est time starting Monday. Im on a mission, more to come.

Going to have 2 accounts, one for AM, one for PM,
