Forex and It Overnight Session

[ptcman 10]

Hi.

 

One of those questions that have always driven me crazy... does forex markets have an overnight session like ES mini futures?

 

Can we consider the existence of an overnight session? For example, the EURUSD.

 

Can we consider the time between the stock market close in the US and open in Europe, the EURUSD overnight session?

 

Thank you.

Regards.

No, it seems like you're trying to force it to be something that it's not. Volume is definitely lower at that time but EUR/USD is still the 2nd highest traded pair during the Japanese session.

Review some charts during the times you might consider overnight session. See if the price action fits your idea.

 

Some liquidity enters the market, when Japan opens around 7pm EST. It might last till about 9 or 10PM.

 

If some development, either fundamental or technical, enters the picture, the price movement maybe above the average over night.
