@amosglad01 - 9 months ago - Forex Education

I would like to know when the London forex session starts in Nigeria. I know its in the morning but I want to know the particular hour. I would also love to know the logic behind the London forex trading session starting at a certain time.

If you were living in London then the forex session would start by 8 AM but since you are in Nigeria, the London forex session will start by 9 AM because Nigeria is 1 hour ahead of London.

The London session will also end by 5 PM Nigerian time. Between 2 PM & 5 PM, both London & New York sessions are going to be open simultaneously so you will see more liquidity and lower spreads.

London session starts in Nigeria by 8am during daylight savings months, and at 7am during non-daylight savings months.

Starts by 8 in the morning, but you should be on your trading system at least one hour before that time.

I trade the London session every day and I can tell you that after DST is over, London session opens from 9 AM. However, during DST London opens by 8 AM.

DST or Daylight Savings Time is when Nigerian time is the same as London time but after DST Nigerian time becomes ahead of London time by 1 hour. DST is from the start of March till october ending every year.

To cut the long story short, during DST Nigerian forex traders should wake up early to trade the London session open by 8 AM. After DST, Nigerians should wake 1 hour later to trade the London open by 9 AM.
