Night Trading

Night trading refers to trading activity that occurs during the Asian session — typically between 21:00 and 06:00 GMT — when major financial centers in Tokyo, Singapore, and Sydney are active. This session is generally characterized by lower volatility and tighter ranges compared to the London or New York sessions, making it suitable for range-trading strategies. Currency pairs involving the Japanese yen and Australian dollar tend to see the most activity during this period. Night trading carries unique risks including reduced liquidity and potential gap moves when markets reopen after weekend closures.
