Forex Trading Hours – 24 Hours 5 Days A Week

PostDateIcon December 10th, 2009

Forex trading hours are important for anyone who plans to trade currencies at the Forex exchange market. The Forex market operates twenty four hours a day, five days a week, except for national holidays. Forex trading hours differ due to that various major financial institutions operate in different hours in different time zones.

Basically, there are four major zones with various Forex trading hours: Europe, USA, Australia and Asia. Forex opens in Tokyo at 23.00 GMT on Sunday and then in 5 days it closes on Friday at 10 PM in Chicago, thus ending the so-called Forex trading week.

Forex actually works even at the time of major holidays, because different countries celebrate different holidays on different dates, and many of these holidays do not even overlap. For example: Hindu and Jewish holidays, Muslim and Christian holidays etc. When a holiday starts in one part of the world, another part of the world is “available for trading”. In the time of the holidays in one country, you can still get quotes from the banks of another country etc.

One of the least suitable days for Forex trading is the weekends. This is due to that it is often hard to find a counterpart for your transaction, since the volume of both – sellers and buyers – is much less on the weekends. Novice Forex traders should try to only trade within the Forex trading hours on the weekdays.

Forex trading hours vary all over the world, making Forex market a colorful mixture of countries and currencies, including US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Euro, Yens, Pounds etc. Thus you will be able to trade with any currency at the foreign exchange market.

Forex trading hours are believed to also be present for one simple reason – the employees of various institutions need some time to take care of matters. Frankly speaking, Forex traders probably also need to “relax and get some rest” every once in a while.

Some countries actually get the Forex trading hours falling particularly in the time of the late evening and night. However, in other countries Forex trading hours perfectly fit within the regular business day.

Forex trading hours in the main 4 timezones

Forex trading hours of various countries overlap one another, together totaling 24 hours each day for 5 days in the row. Thinner trades are also carried out on the weekends. Please take a look at the 4 main time-zones of the Forex trading hours (EST):

Tokyo Trading Hours: 19.00 to 04.00

New York: 8.00 to 17.00 EST

London, Trading Hours: 03.00 to 12.00 (noon) EST

Sydney, Trading Hours: 17.00 to 02.00 EST

Forex trading hours are also an important part of a trading strategy, since the trades will differ depending on the Forex trading hours, which you choose to trade at.

Why I like Robominer
In the Forex marketplace, almost every week we see the release of some new trading system or Expert Advisor (an EA is an automated forex trading robot). Some of them work while most of them don't. However there is one EA that has been constantly making profits over the last year, generating over 86,908.00 pips in profit, and generated a 314% return in just 12 months, according to company figures.

This system that only a few seem to know about is RoboMiner. The RoboMiner EA is a long term investment system that pumps daily small profits into your account, it always closes trades with a profit. That's right, you will never have any trades close with a loss.

The RoboMiner EA uses a proven grid trading system that is so safe, it's as if your money is in you IRA account. This system generates a minimum 6-10 % return monthly, with compounding that's 100% return a year.

Let's do the maths here. If you invest $2,000 today, in 9 years from now that will turn into $1,000,000 minimum. Where else can you find such a safe investment that will give you this kind of return?

Best of all you can download a free demo of this EA, test it for as long as you want and see for yourself how it performs.

So go ahead and try the RoboMiner EA today. Click here to download a FREE copy of RoboMiner. You will never have any trades close with a loss.
What Are The Best Forex Robots?
Watch out. The only thing that some "autopilot" forex software products will do for you is... analyze the market. Sure, that's great because when a computer does all the analytical work for you, you don't have to sit in front of a screen looking at charts and candlesticks for hours on end.

But a ROBOT program goes much further.

Forex robots will actually DO THE TRADING for you, as well as the analysis work. A well-written Expert Advisor (EA) will buy at the right time and sell at the right time. It's the ultimate in hands-free currency trading... as long as it's a well-programmed forex robot.

So what are the best forex trading robots available today? I've tried several but only identified one I am happy with at this point... RoboMiner. It primarily works with the AUD/NZD currency pair and is programmed to only trade when you will make a profit. It takes profit when a trade has reached a 1.5% profit.

Why I don't like these EA's

PipsMiner. I first used the wrong settings and as a result lost money. Then I corrected my mistake and entered their recommended settings but still lost money with PipsMiner SE version. Here endeth my very brief PipsMiner user review.

Forex Megadroid. I was running the default settings in demo mode and it didnt turn a profit for me, so I got a refund from ClickBank. That's the nice thing about buying through ClickBank. Although the site promises world class support, it fell far short of that in my experience.

ForexBling. Support was inadequate. I had several questions about setup, but they were answered in just a few words when my questions really needed more info. Even the brief answers did not address my actual questions in some cases.
