Forex keeps a great importance on our present finance market. According to my view this is one type of money exchange machine. The hole financial market for the trading of currencies are decentralized by the foreign exchange market. We can see different types of buyers and sellers around the world are moving here and there in forex market.

The basic purpose of foreign exchange market is to help international trade and investment. The main operation of it to convert one currency to another, in business.

Nowadays forex market is open everyday for 24 hours. The all traders are utilizing the opportunity to trade any time during the day and night. But at the starting point its not very important. Participate the right time to trade is the main key factor to gain the success in trading at the forex market. Now a question can arise in our mind that when should we consider trading why? I think the time should when the market is most active and the market has the biggest volume trades. A few active currency has the credibility to create a good chance to catch the trade and make some profit. Slow market is basically wasting our time.


Now you can ask what to trade and when to trade during 24 hour's period? I'll be suggest that when the volume of trades will be the highest then we can go for it. Here are some forex market session and example of the most active currency pairs I've mentioned:

  • London/New York sessions:EUR/USD USD /CHF GBP/USD.
  • Tokyo/Sydney Sessions:EUR/JPY/AUD/USD USD/ JPY AUD /JPY.
  • Sydney session:AUD/USD EUR/USD.

After a long period I've noticed that the most active forex trading days in a week are - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Basically traders are watching and analyzing the hole market on Sunday and Monday. Trading activity going on near about till noon on Friday and after that the market became slow down and almost freeze before the actual market closing at 5 pm EST.


In forex trading market we may see different type of activity like there are some currencies are moving in the same direction and some are in -opposite. Those who trade more than one currency pair they have the powerful knowledge regarding this. It helps to make a perfect boundary and diversity or double profitable positions. Here I've done a statistical measurement by performance where "correlation and coefficients" fact present. The measurement form is +1 to -1.


  • When two currency pairs will move in the same direction 100% of the time - this will be the correlation of +1
  • When two currency pairs will move in the opposite direction 100% of the time - this will be the correlation of -1
If no relation between currency pairs the correlation will be 0(ZERO).


  • Direction moving currency pairs are:
EUR/USD and GBP/USD EUR/USD and NZD/USD USD/CHF and USD/JPY AUD/USD GBP/USD AUD/USD and EUR/USD

  • Inversely moving pair are:
EUR/USD and USD/CHF GBP/USD and USD/JPY GBP/USD and USD/CHF AUD/USD and USD/CAD AUD/USD and USD/JPY
