Forex Morning Trade - The Morning Trades are The Most Traded Times in Trading

The morning trades are the best hours when it comes to the market. However, the market is a 24 hour market 5 and a half days a week so at what time is the morning trade in market.

When it comes to the trading the most active times a re during the times when banks in Europe are open (London time) and the time when the US forex banks are open (New York Time). But for most businesses around the world most of their activities is carried out early in the morning, very few transactions are carried out by international corporations in the afternoon. Stock Trades and other financial markets also follow the same patterns, trades placed with these stock brokers after the previous days market close are all executed in the first few hours of the morning.

This is the observation that is has been made by most FX traders who regularly trade the market. Trader will observe that at London market open the market will move quite an amount of pips steadily for a few hours, then after these hours the market will begin to retrace or consolidate. Then comes the New York Morning time and during the first few hours the market then will move quite a significant number of pips and then after these hours the market then will start to consolidate or retrace most of the times until the morning time of London market.

Generally these 2 times are when 70 - 80% of all market movement will occur. These are

From the above chart the only Forex Morning Trade we want is the London forex morning trade & New York Forex Morning Trade:

London forex morning trade time - 8:00 - 11:00 GMT
New York forex morning trade time - 13:00 - 16:00 GMT

Now the Morning trade for our trading will only be 3 hours because for the morning trade as a trader you want to close your trade before price starts and begins to retrace or consolidate.

So as a morning trader these will be your time for opening and closing trades. If you decide to open a morning trade you should close it within the 3 hours morning time because after these morning hours most trades by financial institution will already have been executed & hence after these few hours the liquidity in the market goes down & the forex currency pair movement will slowdown.
