In today's tutorial we will talk about Forex market hours will see in which time zones, the Forex market operates and how it so happens that the Forex market is so different to any stock market in the way that it works 24 hours a day for this tutorial I really wanted to show your global map of the world with the Forex sessions visualized on it and because I couldn't find a decent one on the net.
I went ahead and made one of my own, and that this, what it looks like and all different. He shared with you by giving you the link to download it at the end of this tutorial's on this map at the bottom of the time axes and the way to read it is from right to left because the sun rises from East to West that axes are in the GMT time and then we've got the four main Forex sessions starting from bottom to top.
As they commenced through a new day. So the first on the Sydney session. That is a Tokyo session Vince London session and then it's the New York session.
So what can we see from this visualization of the Forex market hours and how can we use this in all trading.
Let's have a closer look at the sessions one by one and see what exactly happens over 24 hour period on the Forex market, so this training session you will notice that said, the very first session to open during any given day is the Sydney Forex market session and the straightens of the first nation to wake up into a new day.
It's still 22 hours, so 10 PM of the previous day in London when Sydney Banks open up so this means that if you live in Europe or in the US and its Tuesday then you can already trade the Wednesday Sydney Forex market session and that's just the mind-blowing fact that I was very interested to learn when I first got into Forex.
Also, you may also what about the New Zealand session and that's a fair point.
New Zealand is located even more to the right from the strata and the New Zealand session starts about two hours before the Sydney session.
However, without the strength session the liquidity on the New Zealand market is very low and so that's why people focus on the Sydney session on the New Zealand session.
Moving on the next session is a Tokyo session which follows shortly after this session is also called Asian session because right after Tokyo large economic hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong start waking up the Asian session starts around midnight GMT when most of Europe is still in a deep sleep and this is why you often hear European traders talking about waking up at 3 AM just to try the Asian session before going back to bed.
Also, you may have already noticed that some of the Forex sessions overlap quite significantly.
For example, this training session Asian sessions overlap for the majority of the Forex market hours and the good news is that you can use this knowledge to your advantage.
Naturally, when these two sessions overlap currency pairs like the strident dull Japanese yen and the New Zealand dollar Japanese Yen will have their highest motility.
The next session that follows the Tokyo session is the London session.
Undoubtedly, London is the economic center of Europe and essential that the European session is also called the London session.
Moreover, by the time banks open up in Great Britain.
Other major economic hubs like Frankfurt, Luxembourg, and Zürich have already started into the Forex market hours for the day.
An interesting observation is that the Forex hours of the Tokyo and London sessions overlap for approximately one hour in this varies the little bit for other European countries, and you can and you probably should use this fact to your advantage.
This slide overlap means that all of the crosses over European currencies and the Japanese yen will have their highest volatility at the start of the European session.
So if you're trading the British pound Japanese yen, for instance, you can simply carry out a few very powerful trades between 8 AM and 9 AM GMT and then you're free for the day and some traders actually do that they capitalize on this narrow window of time when both sessions are open.
They take the most out of the movements of volatile currency pairs like the British pound Japanese yen and then they finish the trading very early on in the day and they have the rest of the day for themselves and finally loss efficient open up as the New York session Forex market hours in the US start of New York and this is because over New York is one of the biggest financial centers in the world and is the East.
Most major city in America.
The American session also includes other major economic hubs like Chicago, which is the world's largest her market and let's not forget about Toronto which is a major Canadian financial hub.
So what happens when you put more firewood into the fire.
That's right burns even harder and same thing happened here New York and London are the two of the world biggest financial centers and the American session starts when the European sessions only half way through and of course you going to get an extremely fast-paced and volatile market.
During that overlap and once again you can profit from this.
A lot of the major pairs like the Eurodollar pound dollar and the dollar-Swiss franc experience massive movements and specific patterns during this time.
In fact, I created a holistic trading strategy for the British pound dollar just based on this one fact the strategy is called simple system version 6.0 and you can find it in my Forex robots course which is an extremely profitable pattern that I discovered for the British pound, dollar, and in that course.
I give it away for you to for free so if you're interested. Definitely check out the course and finally, to sum up the Forex market hours.
Let's have a look at the end of the New York session.
As you can see, even though the Sydney session in the New York session do not overlap the following child of back to back and this illustrates why the Forex market is open 24 hours a day.
If you take any time zone on this map, at least one Forex session will always be open and in the end, I like to say that whatever your trading strategy is it is always beneficial to keep in mind the Forex market hours of the four Forex sessions.
This is because different sessions are dominated by different types of traders, banks, governments, and as we discussed different types of currency pairs and taking this into account will certainly give you a competitive advantage over other Forex traders so that brings us to the end of this tutorial, as promised, here's the link to this map, just go to www.forexbow.com/Forex-market-hours and there you can get this map in HD resolution I'm also planning on releasing a map like this for every single time zone so.
Soon enough you'll be able to download this map specific to your location and because it's in HD.
Unlike other Forex maps on the net.
You can even use it as your desktop wallpaper and that is very handy to always have in front of your eyes so you can quickly reference in which Forex market session you're currently trading on that note, I'll wrap up today's tutorial.
