Press Release Body = The three major forex trading 'sessions' are as follows (all in
Eastern Standard Time):

THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIME TO TRADE IS FROM 3 AM TO 11 AM EST.

The New York and London trading sessions overlap between 7 and 11 am EST. The
volatility is much higher and trading opportunities are much more frequent with
bigger moves, especially in these four hours.

The currency pair that moves the most during these hours are the Usd/Chf (#1), then
the Gbp/Usd, then the Eur/Usd, then the Usd/Jpy.

This is when you can make 30-100 pips trading in just a few minutes or hours, using
any of our strategies in any time frame, especially around news releases.

Most often, the economic news release is scheduled for 8:30 AM EST. If you are in a
trade at this time, make sure you have your stop loss at a place you are happy with.
The volatility is scary and fast, but if you aren\'t already in a trade, you can
jump in once you see the major trend, usually after the first 5 minutes. Look at a
30 min chart to see the major trend.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of the forex brokerages have now stopped guaranteeing their
stops during fundamental news release times, as the volatility is so extreme, that
the price can often move faster than their servers can keep up with. Thus, please be
very aware that getting into and out of a trade when you want, can sometimes be next
to impossible. You can possibly encounter several things during news release times:
whipsaw of the price, slippage, freezing of the platform, disconnects, re-quotes of
price, loss of money, etc. Don\'t bother calling up any dealing desk to complain, as
they are all now distancing themselves from this problem, and they all have a
disclaimer on their websites. It is a buyer-beware type of situation. If you choose
to play the news, you have to be aware of it\'s risks. The rewards can be very great
in just a few minutes, or it can go against you. Make sure that you immediately put
in your stop.
