I know this must have been asked before, but can we get a complete list of currency pairs and times in (EST) when they are active?

From what I have read and observed, the best time to trade (active markets) are between 2 am and 4 am EST (European Market Open / plus Asian overlap) and 8 am to 12 pm EST (Euro and US overlap).

I like this chart It gives pipz per hr. http://www.fxstreet.com/nou/content/...menu=knowledge

for session times I use http://www.worldmarkethours.com/Fore...htm?12,0,1,0,5 I have it on my task bar and pop it up whenever I get confused (and that is often dependinding on the state of my meds)

Get a separate clock, set it to GMT and leave it there.

Set your announcements calendar to GMT, print out each week.

Busiest times are when first opening (2-3 hours) and after announcements.

Good luck

thanks mr whipple

the first link helps a lot. i thought that the GBP/USD was the most volatile..but according to the chart the USD/CHF is the most...

anyways what is the correlation between the world markets and each currency?

for exmaple, when the japanese market opens, what does that mean for active currencies? anything that is paired with the yen?

Hmmm. think about it this way... Have you ever considered if the Rise/Fall of the Dow/S&P {russel, nasdaq...} have any effect on the USD?

World Market Hours tells you when the Nationalized Traders of any particular currency are predominent in the market. As well as when they are getting ready to settle positions.

Not neccessarily "Move More" but they will probably have more Volume {steam in the engine} to release in reaction to an event.
