US and Europe sessions are good for trading.
Same opinion; I am also an active trader of this trading session; I get enough number of trade opportunities in this session.

There are also plenty of good trading opportunities during the Asian session, but I, personally, am not awake enough during that period to trade.

I have found that the Sunday open triggers some stop losses, sometimes to my tick, and reverses back to where it closed Friday.

I agree. The market may not be open anyway, and year end is the time for celebration and rest, in my opinion, rather than trading.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Most of the traders close their Forex positions on Friday. This is done in order to avoid the opening gaps of Monday.

True. You never know what will happen over the weekend when you have no control over your positions.

currently demo-ing, and found the best trading times are when trade sessions overlap(i.e for me, london and new york).

That makes sense. At those times the market volume is (or should be, at least) the greatest so the market is very lively.

Yes, I am also interested to use this kind of technical support! Interestingly, London and New York trading sessions are my favorite!

best time to trade is when your trading system shows you a strong signal.

when to not trade:
the worst time to trade could be even when your trading system shows you a signal how? for example if you see an unusual big candle maybe you should stay out because a retracement might occur.

at a high impact news release. but it depends on your trading system if it's short term or long term. if long term then news release are not always a problem. strongest releases i think are NFP, ISM, interest rate decision, important speeches from central bank bosses.

if a president election is happening you better be out of market.

closing the position on friday is important because you cant manage your position during weekends (price can move a little or a lot during weekend and the change will be visible at market open on monday).

I agree, as long as I can find the movements predicable.

When the market is the high movement you must trade with strategy and analysis. The slow movement of the market is risky so avoid it.
