How do you treat the Asian session range?
The Asian session prints a range that London often respects or breaks — which is why so many strategies are built around it. The range gives you structure, context and a risk anchor before the real volume arrives.
What's your method?
- how you define the Asian range (hours, wicks or closes)
- what you do when London breaks it versus respects it
- the pairs where the range matters most
The sessions guide fixes the session times in UTC.
Background: Forex market hours: the Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York sessions
Currencies trade around the clock on weekdays, but not with the same liquidity. Session times in UTC, the overlaps that matter and the daylight-saving trap.
What time does the forex market open on Sunday?
Most brokers open at 5 p.m. New York time on Sunday, which is 21:00 UTC in summer and 22:00 UTC in winter.
What is the best time to trade forex?
Liquidity is usually highest during the London–New York overlap, roughly 12:00 to 16:00 UTC in the northern summer, when spreads on major pairs tend to be tightest. Whether that suits you depends on the pairs you trade and your strategy.
