The forex market is open 24 hours a day; allowing you to trade at any time of the day or night. You can trade 24/5 from Sunday 24:00 am till Friday 24:00 am (GMT + 2). The market is divided into four major trading sessions: The Sydney session, the Tokyo session, the London session, and the investors favorite session to trade; the New York session.
The best time to trade is when the market is most active and has the most significant volume of trades. Actively traded markets will create an excellent chance to catch a good trading opportunity. On the other hand, calm and slow markets could waste your efforts.
The busiest time is when two sessions overlap, because there will be more trading volume when two markets are open simultaneously. Refer to the below table to monitor the Forex Market trading hours. Open and close times will also vary during the months of October/November and March/April as some countries (like the United States, England, and Australia) shift to/from daylight savings time (DST). However, Japan does not adopt daylight savings.
