Trading Session 

Trading Session is a period of time that can be traded. It will have different time periods depending on the market and the location being discussed. This is generally a normal business day and hour local time. by counting the time from the open market to the closed market.

For stock markets, there is a specific trading session each day (Opening Bell – Closing Bell), for example the US stock market. There is a normal trading session on the business day from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (EST) or US Bond Market starting at 8 AM and ending at 5 PM.

But in the Forex market or Spot CFDs there are trading sessions 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (24/5) or in the cryptocurrency market. Can be traded at any time (24/7)

However, although the Forex and Cryptocurrency markets are open all the time, it is not “anytimes” that should be traded, as there are only certain periods of active trading volume.

It can be divided into four Forex trading sessions: Sydney session, Asia session, Europe session and North America session. or in short “Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York Session”.

The forex market can trade 24 hours a day, it creates an “overlapping period” which is a period of high trading volume and price volatility. It can yield better returns on trades than other periods of low volatility.
