during the Asian session so, once the afternoon hits, it's pretty much a
snooze fest. With European traders just starting to get into Forex Market.
This would be an ideal time to Trade in these Hours, play some putt-putt or
look for potential trades to take for the London and New York sessions.
London - New York Overlap
It is during this period where we can see some big moves, especially when
news reports from the U.S. and Canada are released. The markets can also
be hit by "late" news coming out of Europe.
If any trends were established during the European session, we could see
the trend continue, as U.S. traders decide to jump in and establish their
positions after reading up what happened earlier in the day. You should
watch out though, at the end of this session, as some European traders may
be closing their positions, which could lead to some choppy moves right
before lunch time in the U.S.
