☀️MAKING SENSE OF FOREX TRADING SESSIONS🌝
⭐️The Basics
The forex market is open 24 hours a day during the weekdays which allows traders to potentially trade all day and all night.Knowing the forex market’s operating hours is essential for a trader. You need to know when the forex market opens and closes as well as the four main trading sessions.
⭐️Forex Trading Sessions
Just because you can trade the market any time of the day or night doesn't necessarily mean that you should.
The best time to trade is when the market is active with lots of forex traders opening and closing positions, which creates a large volume of trades. The forex market can be broken up into four major trading sessions: the Sydney session, the Tokyo session, the London session, and the New York session.
• Sydney is open from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am UTC
• Tokyo is open from 12:00 am to 9:00 am UTC
• London is open from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm UTC
• New York is open from 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm UTC
⭐️Forex Trading Volume
You can make money trading when the market moves up, and you can make money when the market moves down. But you will have a very difficult time trying to make money when the market doesn't move at all.
In order for the market to move, lots of trades need to occur. And this is why you should focus your energy during specific trading sessions.
The forex trading sessions are named after major financial centers and are loosely based on the local “work day” of traders working in those cities.The more traders…trading, the higher the trading volume, and the more active the market. The more active the market, the tighter the spreads you'll get and the less slippage you'll experience. In a nutshell, you'll get better order execution.
⭐️When is the best time to trade forex?
During the weekdays, there’s always at least one forex trading session open although there are periods of downtime when the market is really quiet and trading volume is low or “thin”. You usually want to avoid trading when only one trading session is open and instead, wait for trading sessions to overlap. When two major financial centers are open, the number of traders actively buying and selling a given currency greatly increases. The highest trading volume occurs during the overlap of the London and New York trading sessions. More than 50% of trading volume occurs at these two financial centers.
⭐️Currency specific sessions
The best time for you to trade forex will depend on which currency pair you’re looking to trade.
Most of the trading activity for a specific currency pair will occur when the trading sessions of the individual currencies overlap. For example, AUD/JPY will experience a higher trading volume when both Sydney and Tokyo sessions are open. And EUR/USD will experience a higher trading volume when both London and New York sessions are open.

Replaying Trade Setups - Market Open Price Reactions When markets open (Tokyo/Hong Kong/London/New York/Sydney) they can have different reactions to price movement.
One of these reactions can be a quick move up to induce traders to go long and then reverse.
This can sometimes be seen as a hammer candle.
This particular trade was placed at the hammer candle close. 1% Stoploss above and 1% take profits increments below.
Stoploss was then moved into profit.
Judas Swing | London Killzone | "Optimal Trade Entry" Explained Hello Folks hope you're all doing great as usual,
Today, I will explain something very basic in ICT teachings that repeats just so much and is super easy in fact..
This strategy combines multiple concepts of ICT teachings and is as follows:
1_we wait for the formation of Judas Swing(as defined by ICT) after New York midnight and it simply is waiting for manipulation to occur.
2_we wait for price to show inclination to go in the opposite direction
3_it is very important to enter in London Session(preferably in Killzone)
4_there are a lot of ways to find possible entry, and in this example show how to enter using OTE(optimal trade entry) pattern (it is a retracement to at least %61 (preferably %75 or %79) of the most recent price swing..
You can most probably hold the trade till end of London Killzone, so apply risk management and SL(below recent low/high) and you should be fine...
