Trading times

I have been trading the eurusd and gbpusd and my question is this...Is volume greater at the opening of the Euro market or the opening of the US market for these pairs.

Any positives/negatives about trading the different times. I would like to minimize my trading times and maximize my sleep (!) and going to bed at 2 am and waking up at 6:30am is not working for me.

I am looking for advice and stories of trading the same pairs, but at the opening of the different markets.

For GBP/USD I am positive the volume is the greatest in London session.
Cable has a range from 120-140pips/daily on average and more than 60% of that daily move is made in London session.
I do not trade EUR/USD but I assume (it is not ok in forex to assume ) that its quite the same.....

You're better than you think. To bed a 2am and up at 6:30am and you wrote this post at 4:17am EST. Maybe you are in a different time zone than I am.

Why don't you just try trading your schedule allows. A tired trader will make a frustrated trader.

I had an indicator on my old puter showing overlaps of trade times for various markets, with a slide indicator on top showing the current time here, Someone on here had posted the download, but after much searching I cant find it again.. Any assistance appreciated

found a good clock,, thanks AndresS

The best time to trade is when the market is the most active and therefore has the biggest volume of trades. Also very important is to avoid News time.

I have put together a simple indicator that tells you when you can trade (you can change the times if you don't agree with them).

I also indicate the current trend as I like to avoid trading against the trend (you can change the time frame that is used to calculate this trend).

I find this simple indicator helps me avoid temptation to trade when I shouldn't and in the wrong direction.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
