Understanding Forex Market Hours When’s the Best Time to Trade?

[Mdraghib]

I’ve been learning more about forex trading hours lately and realized that timing plays a huge role in how the market moves. The forex market runs 24 hours a day, but it’s divided into four major sessions Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York.

Each session has its own vibe:

• London is usually the most volatile and active.
• New York overlaps with London, which makes it a great time for traders who like strong price movements.
• Tokyo and Sydney are a bit calmer but can still show good setups, especially for pairs like JPY and AUD.

If you’re new, it’s worth tracking which session suits your style — some prefer the quieter Asian hours, while others chase volatility during London–New York overlap.

What session do you usually trade, and why?
