Sesionesdemercado:cuándosemueverealmenteelmercado

Currency markets run around the clock, but they do not run evenly. Volume concentrates in sessions, and movement follows volume.

The three sessions

Asia sets the tone quietly, London brings the volume, and the London–New York overlap between roughly 13:00 and 17:00 GMT is the day's main event.

Spreads tighten and moves extend when volume is high; thin hours produce erratic spikes that hunt tight stops.

What this means for a copier

Expect most copied trade activity during high-volume windows. Positions opening at 3 a.m. your time are normal, not suspicious.

It also explains quiet days. A strategy that sits out thin holiday sessions is showing discipline, not laziness.

News inside the sessions

Scheduled releases such as rate decisions and employment data create the sharpest moves of all. Serious strategies plan around the calendar.

Watching how a strategy behaves through a news week tells you plenty about its risk culture.
