Forex Session

One of the four major trading sessions in the 24-hour forex market: Sydney (22:00-07:00 UTC), Tokyo (00:00-09:00), London (08:00-17:00), and New York (13:00-22:00).

Example

The trader focused on the London-New York session overlap (13:00-17:00 UTC) because the highest forex liquidity and volatility typically occur when both major sessions are active simultaneously.
