The allure of forex day trading is that you can trade 24-hours a day. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean you should. Day traders should only trade a forex pair when it’s active and there’s lots of volume and transactions occurring. The EUR/USD has certain hours which are acceptable for day trading because there is enough volatility to generate profits, which are likely higher than the cost of the spread or commission. To be efficient and capture the largest moves of the day, day traders hone in even further, often day trading only during a specific 3–4-hour window.​

The Impact on EUR/USD Volatility

The forex market operates 24-hours a day during the week because there’s always a global market open somewhere due to time zone differences. However, not every global market actively trades every currency, so different forex pairs are actively traded at different times of the day.

When Europe is open for business, pairs that involve the euro (EUR) or British pound (GBP) are more actively traded. When the U.S. and Canada are open for business, pairs that involve the U.S. dollar (USD) and Canadian dollar (CAD) are more active.

If day trading the EUR/USD, the times that are likely to be most active for the pair, on average, will be when London and New York are open. Those markets are open between 0800 and 2200 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). To see major market hours in your own timezone, or your broker’s (charts) time zone, use the forex market hours tools.

Acceptable Times to Day Trade EUR/USD

The hourly volatility chart shows how many pips the EUR/USD moves each hour of the day (times are in GMT). There is a significant increase in the amount of movement starting at 0700, which continues through to 2000. After this, movement each hour begins to taper off, so there are likely to be fewer big price moves day traders can participate in.

Day traders should ideally trade between 0700 and 2000 GMT. Trading outside of these hours, the pip movement may not be large enough to compensate for the spread or commissions.

Volatility changes over time, but the most volatile hours generally do not change too much. 0700 to 2000 GMT will continue to be the most acceptable time to day trade, regardless of whether daily volatility increases or decreases. Note that daylight savings time may affect trading hours in your area.
