There is no right or wrong time or even a preferred trading session when it comes to trading forex or any other financial products. It's important to consider factors such as volatility, favourable trading conditions, narrower spreads, market sentiment, and supply and demand when trading.

Sessions that overlap like the New York/London overlap (8am to noon EST) have more volume and see more activity than other Forex session times.
