Best days of the week to trade

Tuesdays and Wednesdays is where the bulk of the weekly movement is seen on all four major pairs – EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and USD/CHF.

Fridays are usually busy until 17:00 GMT and then the market slows down until it closes at 22:00 GMT. This means Fridays are, for all intents and purposes, only half-days.

You’d be better off taking a trade during these days of the week rather than others because these give you a higher chance of success.
