austrailia is open and Oanda is trading, however the spreads are wide, 10 pip due to lack of volume.

Not only will my VT platform not play, neither will my FX Trading Station !


Just been on the cable thread, some guys there have Oanda platforms that seem to be functioning. Time to open another account methinks.

A lot of brokers come online .

That's all. Not an imminent speach or something.

Sorry, I didn't think of my statement that way. LOL

There's a good "gap".

The market is really set to start moving again, but it will be interesting to see what really happens because:

1. The new year is the most important holiday time in Japan.

This makes me wonder how much activity we'll really get in the Asian session.

2. More importantly, what kind of activity we'll get on Tuesday, since US equity market (NYSE) is closed and the econ report (ISM) is delayed by one day, because of Pres. Ford's funeral.

I suspect that this could lead to greater volatility because there is less volume.

JohnDoe,

Where's that market hours page located?
Looks useful. Or is it a customer only page at your broker?

Wow, i never knew that there was a sydney session. I guess that explains why the prices still move between the NY and Tokyo Sessions.

There aren't just 3 or 4 session in a 24 hour period. Tokyo, New York and London are just the most important of all. If you want, you can put it like this: there are as many sessions as there are cities where at least two banks are exchanging currencies.

Sydney opens before Tokyo, but did you know that the session in New Zeeland opens before Sydney?
