Trading session

यह कानूनी पृष्ठ केवल अंग्रेज़ी में उपलब्ध है।

The forex day moves through overlapping sessions: Sydney/Tokyo, then London, then New York. Each has a personality — the Asian session is typically quieter and range-bound; London brings the day's first surge of volume; the London–New York overlap is usually the most liquid stretch.

Many automated strategies are built entirely around this structure: measuring the range of a quiet session and trading the breakout when a liquid one opens. For such strategies, correct session times — and therefore correct broker server time — are not a detail but the strategy itself.
