Why sessions matter

Liquidity changes through the day.

The London–NY overlap

When London and New York are both open, volume and volatility peak — the busiest window of the trading day, and the one most strategies are tuned around.

Quiet hours cut both ways

Thin liquidity around the Sydney open means wider spreads and choppier fills — some EAs avoid it entirely, others hunt it.
