Match the Instrument to the Session

Trade what is active when you are active.

Instrument timing

Each instrument has its best hours: Gold & USD pairs move most during London/NY. Indices are best around their market open. Asian pairs (JPY, AUD) during the Tokyo/Sydney sessions.

Trading an instrument during its dead hours means wide spreads and choppy moves. Match your instrument to your available screen time for the cleanest setups.
