Forex Market Hours
The Forex Market is open 24 hours a day, but the activity volume is fluctuating during the different market sessions of the trading day.
The best time to trade our
free forex signals is when the market is most active
and the chance for substantial movement is greater.
This is relevant primary to day traders who uses tight stops.
Since our service send
forex day trading signals, it is easy to get stopped when the market is calm
and movement is slow.

The New York and London Sessions has greater volume than the Sydney / Tokyo sessions.
The most active forex market hours are when the London and New York Markets are overlapping.
- Sydney Session 22:00 - 06:00 (GMT)
The Sydney Session has lower volume and activity and is not recommended for day trading.
- Tokyo Session 24:00 - 08:00 (GMT)

It has some potential for the USD-JPY Currency, but we prefer trading the most active forex market hours.

Forex Signals Service is mainly focused on Day Trading,
but sometimes we send Swing Signals with wider stops (50-100 pips) which aim for the bigger movement and are not likely
to get stopped in these hours.
