Forex Trading Hours

The Forex trading market is open 24 hours a day.  Essentially one of the major centers is open at any time and you can trade on any of them.  New York is open from 8:00AM to 5:00PM EST.  Tokyo is open from 7:00PM to 4:00 AM EST.  London Forex trading hours is from 3:00AM to 12:00PM EST.  Last, but not least Sydney’s hours are from 5:00PM to 2:00AM EST.

If you’re interested in higher volume trading you generally want to be available when more than one of the Forex market trading hours are up and running at the same time.  This would be from 8:00AM to 11:00AM EST for the London / US cross over, 7:00PM to 2:00AM for the Sydney / Tokyo cross over, and 3:00AM to 4:00AM (ugh, that sounds early) for the London / Tokyo crossover.  If you’re new you may want to avoid these times so the market is slower moving.
