Best Time

[Arthur 10]

Hi all

I am looking for the best suitable time to trade? What is the most feasible and appropriate time in a day to trade? is it while the stock exchanges are getting prepared to be closed or the time when they have just started to trade ?

Regards

Hi Arthur,

 

IMHO the best time to trade is 08:00 to 12:00 EST.

You have the overlap of the London and NY Sessions.

Arthur,

 

It really depends on the market that you are trading. It is true that most markets pick up during normal equity session hours (9:30-4:00). However, if you are daytrading futures or forex then keep in mind you are trading products that are available 24 hours. In most cases you will find 8:00-12:00 the best hours to day trade the popular futures and forex markets. If you are trading the U.S. index futures you can push back that starting time to 9:30.

 

Let me know what markets you are looking at and I will do my best to give you a good window of time to consider.
