Can I pretty much count on the forex market {aud/usd, eur/usd, usd/XXX, etc.} being dead everyday from 1-4 pm central/us time?
yes 99% of the time, oops I forgot, you don’t like unfounded statistics. 
things start winding down in the afternoon eastern time / New York time and dead flat after 5pm untill about 7pm when Australia / Asia kicks in.
Those sessions are slow mostly and things pick up again for European / London session around 2 to 3 am eastern.
unfounded statistic? or personal experience? I choose to believe that isn’t a statistic but a personal experience question {find your way around that one}
kidding aside, thanks.
That is what I have noticed, didn’t know if it was due to the way $$ bills around the world are doing crappy or if it is a normal thing.
Just less traders active as the US markets come to a close and things wind down. Asian traders are tucked up in bed and European traders have mostly gone home. Financial day is pretty much done barring some unforseen event which causes some big rally / sell-off in the US stock exchanges.
