Words used here
- Trading session
- The working day of one big financial centre. Forex has no single exchange, so traders talk about the Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York sessions.
- Overlap
- Hours when two sessions are open at once. London and New York together is the busiest stretch of the day.
- High-impact news
- Scheduled releases that often move prices sharply: interest rate decisions, inflation (CPI), US jobs (NFP) and similar.
