How Forex Market Hours Impact Online Forex Trading Performance

[Mdraghib]

In online forex trading, have you ever noticed that when you trade can matter just as much as how you trade? Many traders fine-tune strategies and indicators, but are you paying enough attention to forex market hours—and how they might be affecting your results?

I agree, market hours can really change the way price moves. I’ve found it helps to trade the same window consistently so you’re not forcing setups during quieter periods. Do you mostly trade London, New York, or the overlap?

Timing matters, just like any other edge.

A strategy that looks great during London can fall apart during quieter hours, especially if the pair is not very active in that session. Things can also get weird around the daily rollover or right before big news. I started paying more attention to sessions because it cut down a lot of the random chop for me and helped my psychology too.
