☀️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.

Shifting value areasA picture tells a thousand words.
Let's learn to read the picture.
Price is seeking value and creates a pattern.
Small value areas form within a bigger value area.
Trading opportunities arise at the outer edges of the bigger value areas
target at the control line.
The trend will change if the price starts making HH, HL, LL, LH.
It will then start to form a new bigger value area and control line.
The sooner we can see this new value area the sooner we can trade
along with the money that moves the market price.
EURJPY - London Session Buy explained JPY had some news releases during Asia, presenting a weak JPY so i was already eyeing EUR & GBP / JPY.
When london opened, there was a minor news release, indication a strong eur, and i started looking for an entry signal
No LL was made
price moved sideway at my entry area and moved strongly
i entered the trade with a generous SL. took 2 trades as usual. 1 w 2r and 1 with 3r, which was nicely in line w Asian highs.
I did look into the possibility that the price will dip lower and go for the asian lows, but my TPs were not that crazy so I went with this trade.
Prices are nearing Asian lows now but i will only explore trade opportunities during the next london session.
FYI- my entries are on 5m but i cant post in 5m due to tradingview limitations.
thanks!!
AUDCAD ZONE TRADE SETUPIN AUDCAD price was its support and previous range resistance area on the monday open wait for the direction of market if price break its trendline and black level to the upside the good setup to trade for long and the targets are next level which is 0.8794 and thursday high/
2nd scanario/
if price break this level of support to the downside than we see on the left hand side clear rang consolidation range and expected to price move in this range and test its range low 0.86000 area.
Thoughts I think price will go to 0.96080
With that in mind we see price just came off that weekly fair value gap and broke structure to the downside
Guessing a fair value gap will form on the daily to facilitate shorts
On the 4H I'm expecting a pullback into premium before I consider shorts
But for day trades you can try to buy this as the pullback may seem as a trend on lower timeframes
Not going to talk about targets
hope this was helpful
EURUSD Daily Outlook | August 09Hi All,

2. For Bears: Sell below1.01862 for targets at 1.01666 and 1.01502 respectively.
Note: Kindly use proper risk management to avoid regrets.

Understanding The Trade is Deeper than StructureThis is an overall look at how I see the market.
Knowing market Mechanics is knowing WHY the market moves.
To trade consistently in the Forex Market Snipers study what we trade. We learn their moves and patterns. As we gain knowledge and gain history with this pair we begin to understand WHY and
what TIMES of the day it moves. We then devise strategieS and formulaS so that when we hunt we come back with the prize every time.
The Mount Everest trade is that trade and it happens in the FOREX MARKET often. This is the set up.
The Morning Zone will trade into buy side liquidity. Look for Wick Exhaustion. Your favorite bearish candle patterns will present.
Once the rest of buy side liquidity is taken out EURO will drop.
10am London Payout.
There will be two opportunities to take long trades before price begins to look for sell side liquidity and short imbalances to fill.
Without a narrative to any trade set up you are blind trading.
Your why must always be deeper than just structure.
Never Over leverage.
Trust your trade set up.
Have fun!
