What FOREX market hours do you trade and why?

I think the most volatile and productive time is the mid week. That’s when all the major economic data are released and all the major movements of currencies are happening too.

As for the specific session I think it’s standard London and New York. But it also depends on the location of each trader.
I also try to avoid the Friday end of the New York session because you can face some unexpected fluctuations there.
