An interesting thing about the Forex market is that it’s open 24 hours a day and that allows traders across the globe to trade in these markets at their convenience.
That’s awesome! But there are also certain times when the price action in these markets is volatile. And different currency pairs can exhibit varying activity over a certain time of the trading day.
So, how can one trade these time zones and get the best out of them?
Well, if you ask our Senior Currency Strategist, Tian Kriek, the answer would be to trade the Forex markets with a strategy specially designed for the trading period you’ve chosen. That’s what he does in the Analyst On Demand (AOD) Trading Room.
In the trading room, Tian teaches a unique strategy to trade the New York Forex Session using Fibonacci ratios and Moving Averages. What’s more is he also shows you how to apply good equity management while trading the currency pairs in this session.
Now, before we tell you more about the Analyst On Demand trading room and Tian’s New York Session strategy, let us help you understand this session and how you can trade it.
What is the New York Session?
The Forex market has 3 major trading sessions – Tokyo, London, and New York.
Each of these see increased activity during a certain time of the day.
Here are some quick points on how things in the New York session look like:
- Also referred as the North American trading session
- Opens at 8:00 AM ET and closes at 5:00 PM ET
- Can exhibit behaviors from the European or Asian Sessions
- There’s high liquidity during the morning, as it overlaps with the European session
- There’s huge volatility during the end of the week
There are also certain more characteristics of this session that could help traders successfully trade with a strategy during a pair’s most active hours.
For example, to trade the overlap in the New York and London Forex sessions, traders can use a break-out strategy that takes advantage of the increased volatility seen during the overlap.
Furthermore, choosing the correct forex pair to trade during the New York session can be the key to some potentially successful trades. For instance, staying on currency pairs that include USD, EUR, CAD, and GBP can be a strategy. Because these currencies are going to have the most volume and potentially the least amount of consolidating price action.
