Hello f5mtadas
Trading is difficult under the best of circumstances and even more difficult if you don't find a suitable time period for your trading strategy.
Knowing when the markets are fast or slow is a must for all traders. So try and find a formula based on your trading, volatile periods of the day increases the probability that the trading pair/s will hit or miss while you are still at your computer.
The sessions run approximately as follows:
Asian open: 00:00 close: 09:00
London open: 08:00 close: 17.00
US open: 13:00 close: 22:00
The FTSE opens at 08.00 and closes at 4.30.
Dow Jones index, NASDAQ Composite & S&P 500 open from 14:30-21:00.
Trading starts in the UK at 08.00 and can get exciting around 09.00 to 10.00 most days, but it really hots up around 13.00 when US traders start to join in.
The US traders go for their coffee around 17.00 and the action hots up again around 19.00 to 22.00 after that we usually wait until the Asian market kick in, but most times its like watching paint dry.
Slower day periods will favor the longer term trader, these include Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings and most Mondays. Also look for days when holidays may effect the markets. If the holiday affects a major market, like the London exchange or and the NYSE, it may affect all currency pairs. Due to these two markets when open times seem to indicate the vast majority of trading activity. A national holiday in the UK or and the U.S. may mean very low trading for the day.
Time of publishing this message 22.25 in the UK.
Good luck
