Best time for trading?

[mister_x]

Hi all,

Newbie trader here. I'm primarily interested in these currency pairs:

EUR/USD
USD/JPY
GBP/USD

What are the best times for trading them i.e when is there most activity/price action in these pairs? Any info about your trading hours would be much appreciated.

Do not trade the EUR/USD and the GBP/USD during the Asian session.

Not enough volatility. Trade them during the US and European sessions.

I'm not sure about the USD/JPY since I don't trade this currency, but I think this one would be best for the US and Asian sessions.

Hope this helps.

5 to 2 usually seems like the best times for usd/jpy
