Market Sessions and Volatility

When the market moves, and why it matters.

Forex trades around the clock in three main sessions: Asian (Tokyo), European (London) and North American (New York). London and New York overlap for a few hours, which is usually the most liquid and volatile window.

Volatility is not the same as opportunity. High volatility can mean larger movements but also larger drawdowns and more false breakouts.

News events (central bank decisions, employment data, CPI) can cause sharp, fast moves. Many prop firms restrict trading around high-impact news; check the rules.

Because the evaluation tests consistency over time, trading a few well-understood hours is usually better than trading around the clock.

Set a session, watch it, learn how the pair behaves in it, and only take setups you have actually studied.
