When is The Best Time To Trade Nasdaq (NAS100) in Nigeria?

If you are looking to trade the NY session, then you can trade NASDAQ from 3PM Nigerian time to 8PM.

Or if you have a strategy for trading during London session, then you can trade from 9AM. CFD brokers allow 24 hour trading on NAS100 or US100.

There is no right or wrong time to trade NASDAQ index. If you have a particular strategy on NASDAQ that has an edge during London open (minus brokerage cost), then you would trade it at that time.

But if you have no edge, and trade randomly, and follow no loss limits, then also it does not matter when you trade it.

So, first ask yourself, do you know something (and have tested it) that will give you net net positive returns from trading NASDAQ? Then decide what is right time to trade it.

Volatility may not always be on your side.

From 4 PM GMT after the London session has closed, the daily London FIX has been set and the New York session is in full throttle.

Nas100 is best traded during New York session. New York session commences 2pm. There is enough volatility in the market. This is the main trading window because Nas100 is a U.S index.

Let me add that you cannot trade NAS100 on some U.S. public holidays because the exchange will be closed for business.See attached list of Nasdaq stock exchange holidays for the financial year 2026.
