How to Determine Forex Market Hours

Video Summary

FXMarketHours shows the local time for each major forex center. It is important to know this information as trade activity varies according to the time of day. Liquidity for example, tends to increase when major markets overlap as more traders are likely to be active. Also, the first hour or so after a major market opens often provides a good indication of market sentiment for the day.
