When Are The Power Hours?
The Power Hours run from 8am to 12pm EST. (BD Time 7pm to 11pm)
Yes, the most active trading period lasts only four hours every day! This is the US-European overlap session, which is the time when the world’s two most active trading centers cross -- as the European session is closing and the US session is opening. It is a small, but very active, window that some currency traders call the “hot zone.” And many professional traders focus their best efforts on trading during those four powerful hours.
