Forex Market Time

Before looking at the best times to trade, we must look at what a 24hr. day in the forex world looks like. The forex can be broken up into three major trading sessions: the Tokyo Session, the London Session, and the U.S. Session. Below is a table of the open and close times for each session:


You can see that in between each session there is a period of time where two sessions are open at the same time. From 3-4 a.m. EST, both the Tokyo and London markets are open, and from 8-12 a.m. EST, both the London and U.S. markets are open. Naturally, these are the busiest times during the market because there is more volume when two markets are open at the same time.
