A very difficult question to answer since it is inexplicably linked to the type of strategy being employed ie with respect to required volatility.
True, there is no one size fits all answer to this question, as everyone have different needs. Still, I think people writing here are giving a good general outline of the good trading times.

Hello, I would like to ask you ladies and gentlemen, which - in you opinion - are best trading hours ? I heard from my mate, proffesional trader, that he is trading only from 8:30 to 11:00 and from 14:00 to 16:30 [GMT+1 time] because he has the best trading results these hours. What are your opinions about this ? What hours do you usually trade ? And why ? Regards, pretorian1
My trading schedule is so different every day, but most of the time I trade from 8:30 to 11:30 and from 13:30 to 17:00, but it all depents on how I feel and if I have to the time. Every day is different. The main reason why I trade this hours has to do with my experience. hope this helps.

I think that the most practical thing one can do is find a good trading sessions clock to check when different trading sessions (London, Tokyo, NY, etc.) open and close and trade while they’re open, depending, of course, on their own sleeping and waking hours and time zone.

Forex trading can be done round the clock due to multiple trading sessions. London session is my preferred one but we should trade when we find some ample time and trade with relaxed mind to make good amount of profits.

The best time for me to trade is usually the early part of the London session. I like it because i can have my trade open all day if needbe without encountering the rollover fees, and liquidity (and movements) tend to peak at this time too. When trading manually i don't take trades after 2pm UK time.

I have never found the best time but i like to work in UK session, where market has high volatility of price movements. That can earn more to traders who are ready to take risk.

The same can be said about the other major trading sessions too, like the Tokyo and the NY ones. They too provide similar trading conditions. It all depends on your own time zone, I guess.

Best timing is London mkt opening to NY mid-day. Majors don't move much during Asia hours.

Use daily candle charts (24hrs candles), New York close

STAY AWAY from "scalping", short time frames and all that crap unless you have gained a lot of experience..

In order to trade news well you need a good deal of knowledge about fundamental analysis and nerves of steel.

Look for setup during the opening Tokyo, London & New York. From there build a base on the range.
Self discipline It is a practice

That's really the best possible approach. Use whichever of the main trading sessions is most appropriate in your own time zone.

In my opinion,

London session and first 2 hrs of US session is most suitable for my trading style

If you're trading USD/JPY wouldn't the Tokyo session also be suitable?

actually use the short time frame i.e. 15 or 5 minutes for accurate execution.
But first, the daily, hourly and 4 hour chart have to be in the same picture/trend.
This is not investment/trading advise. Will not hold accountable for loss

If you're looking for liquidity in the market, I recommend the US-London overlap, that is where the most movement occurs Asian market sessions are fine too honestly but the market moves much slower and only starts to pick up when London wakes up.
