ntroduction | Why Timing Is Crucial in Forex

In Forex, timing can make or break your trade—even more than analysis. Many beginners focus solely on strategies, forgetting that when you trade determines your success. This guide from MFA Signals explains when the Forex market is most active, and which hours are ideal for traders in Iran and the Middle East.

Forex Market Sessions (24/5 Schedule)

Top Trading Hours Globally

London Session (08:00–17:00 UTC)
• Highest daily trading volume
• Active price action in EUR, GBP, CHF pairs
• Best for intraday strategies

New York Session (13:00–22:00 UTC)
• Volatile moves, especially in USD pairs and gold
• 13:00–17:00 UTC = overlap = most powerful trading window

Pro tip: Don’t just trade smart. Trade on time.

Best Times for Iranian Traders (UTC +3:30)

Suggestions by trader type:
• Evening trader: Focus on New York
