One of the biggest reasons beginners lose money is not the strategy — it’s bad timing.
The market changes during the day: sometimes it moves clearly, sometimes it’s chaotic and unpredictable.
If you trade during the wrong hours, even the best strategy will fail.
Here is when the market is most stable and profitable to trade.
1. Avoid Low-Volume Hours
The market becomes random when there are not enough active traders.
Do NOT trade during:
Late night
Early morning (before major markets open)
Weekends (crypto-only mode is unstable)
During these hours, price jumps without logic → loss.
2. Best Trading Sessions (High Accuracy)
London Session (Best for Beginners)
8:00 – 12:00 UTC
Clear trends
Smooth price movement
Easy to see direction
New York Session
13:00 – 17:00 UTC
The market moves faster, more powerfully
Good for trend strategies
When London + New York overlap
13:00 – 16:00 UTC (Very powerful movement)
The strongest trends form here
Best time for confident entries
If you want stable and predictable charts → trade during these sessions.
3. When NOT to Trade
Stop trading when:
Chart is flat (sideways movement)
Candles are small and choppy
Price makes long wicks in both directions
This means the market has no direction → avoid it.
No direction = No trade.
4. Practical Routine Example
If you work or study, use short, focused sessions:
Session | Trading Time | Duration |
|---|---|---|
Morning | 1–2 hours during London | + Calm start |
Evening | 1 hour during NY overlap | + Strong trends |
You don’t need to trade all day.
1–3 good trades per day is enough to grow consistently.
