The best time to trade forex futures

  • Asia Pacific region starts at 16:00(est)
  • (Europe) Germany & England 2:00(est)
  • USA 7:00(est)

Europe and the USA account for more than 50% of the turnover.
Trading activity is heaviest when major markets overlap.
Nearly 2/3rd's of the USA activity occurs in the morning hours when European markets are open
