Overlapping Asian and European Sessions

The least active time period on the market. Bidding is very thin, this period

suitable for traders fearing risks for their positioning on

opening bidding in Europe.

Overlapping European and American Sessions

At this time, activity in the market reaches its greatest swing, since at this time trading is carried out on two

the world's largest markets at the same time. At this time accounted for 70% of all transactions in foreign exchange

market for the European session and 80% of all transactions for the American session

If you can’t trade at the peak of activity in the market due to the time zone or working moments, we can give you some tips:

You can become a long-term trader. You just need to view the charts 2-4 times a day, for example: before going to work and after work.

Try to trade during another session, even if this is not the busiest time. If you are unable to trade during the European or American sessions, try to trade during the Asian. The main thing is discipline.

Do not forget, practice makes trading better, and the longer you trade, the better it will turn out for you
