Forex Session Times UK

@patrinova_athenia - 8 months ago - Forex Education

Hi everyone, can we discuss the different forex session times for traders living in the UK? I want to hear other peoples opinion on when the forex sessions start and end according to UK time.

Hi Patrina,

Great of you to start this thread!

The Asian session UK time is from 9 pm till 6 am

The Frankfurt Session UK time is from 6 am till 4pm

The London Session starts from 7 am till 5 pm

The NY Session UK time starts from 1pm till 10 pm

I always pay attention to the Frankfurt session because it somewhat determines how the London session is going to flow.

If the Frankfurt session ends in a bullish candle on a 1 hour timeframe, chances are that the London session will either take a bullish trend or fade to a bearish trend.

London opens at 8AM London time. Frankfurt opens at 7AM London time.

If you are a trader based in the UK or similar time zones, then trading the London session opening from 7AM to 9AM UK time is the best time for you.

It is because it is most convenient time (start of the day) if you are a full time trader. But in order to trade it, you will have to be up by 6AM or 6:30 AM, to get yourself prepared.

Don't just jump in by waking up at 7AM, then you will likely not be ready to take a loss mentally & you would mess up some day.

After the Frankfurt & first 2 hours of London, the volatility on most days fades away, meaning around 10AM London time to 1PM, the price mostly (not always), consolidates on EURUSD & GBPUSD currency pairs.
