Major Forex Sessions
The major sessions are commonly described as:
- Sydney
- Tokyo
- London
- New York
For many UK-based traders, London and New York are particularly important.
London Session
London is one of the world’s major financial centres.
Trading activity can increase significantly around the London session.
New York Session
New York is another major financial centre.
The overlap between London and New York can be particularly active.
Session Overlaps
When major financial centres are open simultaneously, trading activity can increase.
This can lead to:
- More liquidity
- Greater volatility
- More opportunities
- Potentially faster price movement
Remember:
More volatility does not automatically mean better trading.
