While there may not be a “best” time for forex trading (this would depend on a wide range of factors and preferences), there are times – statistically speaking – that can indicate an active market for major currency pairs. In this context, the best forex trading session in Nigeria time (GMT+1) typically begins right after the New York session has started (around 2:00pm West Africa Time) and ends at 5:00pm West Africa Time. The major forex trading sessions are in Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York. At 2:00pm West Africa Time, the London session is just past the halfway point. At this time, the overlap that exists with the New York session can result in higher trading volumes, more decisive price movements, and greater liquidity within the markets. Forex currency pairs involving the USD, GBP and EUR (in addition to other major and cross-currency pairs) can be more active during these times. If you are trading Asia-Pacific related currency pairs (involving currencies such as the AUD, NZD, SGD, HKD, JPY, and RMB), greater price action can occur just after midnight in Nigeria when the Sydney session overlaps with the Tokyo session.
