Advice needed on currency pairs

Hi
I reside in the UK (GMT), and work fulltime 7 days out of 14, on my weekdays off I have been paper trading GBP/USD (day trading) during the London open times.

I am looking for advice on Currency Pairs that have sufficient movement for short-term trading during UK evening times (approx 6pm - 10pm gmt).

Any input is welcome.

well i dont know too much about this, but 6-10pm gmt is pretty much a fairly flat time for the market. That being said, the US market is still open at that time so maybe some volatility in the USD pairs. Outside of that, the aussie and asian markets probably open too late for you (midnight or later). Another way around this is perhaps to use a daily system, one where you only have to look at charts once a day, and the intraday stuff doesnt matter as much.

Thanks for your reply Sdot

I was hoping that there would be a currency pair that had sufficient pip movement in gmt evening times.

looks like I may have to do some research into longer time frame. being new to FX, i would assume that i would require more funds to allow for greater SL's for the increased risk of price going against my choosen direction

am also not comfortable with leaving the computer with an active trade running. no doubt these are aquired skills.

i watched the market during the mentionet hours, ussualy there aren't any price movements, I use this hours only for forex lecture/learning/bla bla bla, not for trading.
My advice is that you can use this period of time of trading, but you have to go for smaller profit(this allso means smaller losses)

no no you don't need more funds, you'd just have to use smaller lot sizes.

ah ah Smaller lot sizes that is the answer, thx Aicccia, im with Oanda on the demo and will probably go live with them so no problem with lot size there.

atm i use 3 hour chart to pick up main trend (drawing parellel trend lines at the various price lvls and also the appropriate support and resistance lines) then drop down to 15 min chart to pick out entries and exits, long on the troughs near bottom trend and short on the peaks near top of the trend (taking into account if there will be sufficient movement available before hitting a major S/R. each trade lasts anything between 10 mins and 4 hours

any suggestions on higher time frames i.e what chart i should be checking for my "main trend" and what time frame I could trade from.

Input welcome.
