Forex traders who are new to the market hit the ground running. They track economic calendars and trade voraciously as soon as data is released, viewing the 24-hour, five-day foreign exchange market as a convenient way to trade all day. Using this strategy can quickly deplete a trader's reserves and burn out even the most persistent trader. While Wall Street operates on regular business hours, the forex market operates on the normal hours of four different time zones around the world, which means that trading continues all night long.
