If you have watched the film Frozen, you should know what it likes to be frozen in time. You might think why we have brought such a topic in forex understanding when we are saying it is open 24 hours. But it is for your own good.

The best trading time varies from person to person according to their trading plan. For me I trade mostly in New York session. For my trading I am using FXPM as it provides tight spreads and instant trade execution.

Timing is quite important in this field. It's also important to find a reliable company to trade with and be sure you'll get what you want. I personally prefer working with https://www.ratingfx.com/instaforex  platform as they have positive reviews and allows a wide choice of services.

I trade forex waiting for European and American market hours, because the transactions are very high, I usually trade in several currencies such as GBP, EUR, and USD.

Reason of when you should trade in forex depends from person to person. Some join to earn profit while some trade because they are passionate. One should only make sure to when they enter forex that they have to trade in forex with focused mind and always with a learning attitude.

When should you trade would depend on firstly when you're free and that depends on whether you;'re a full time trader or a part timer and secondly it depends on the market volatility, the pairs you trade and their trading plan.

I also prefer manual trading to use forex robots which we always have to monitor. So I prefer trading that is not full-time because it makes me exhausted both physically and psychologically because it is not good to look at charts all day long.
