Best time to trade gold is during the London and New York session overlap which is around 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM IST This time has high liquidity strong volatility and better price movements Avoid Asian session because it is usually slow and less profitable for trading opportunities overall

Mostly agree, but I wouldn’t write off Asia completely.

Asia can be great for building liquidity that NY hunts later. If you mark Asia high/low, the break of that range during London often gives the cleanest entries.

That said, yeah, if you want volatility without waiting 6 hours, overlap is king. What’s your go-to setup during 1:30-5:30 PM IST? Breakouts or pullbacks?

For gold, I usually see cleaner movement on HFM when London and New York are both active, especially around US data. Asian session can be useful for marking levels, but I would not say it is the best time for entries unless there is very clear momentum
