The trader only needs to know two phases of the market, which are sideways and trending. In accordance with the market phase, if we use a trend following strategy, our strategy must be in a trend phase; however, we know that there is no fixed time for trends in the market, sometimes we find trends in the Asian session, sometimes in the European session, sometimes in the US session. It is true that the US and European session follow the same trend, but that is not always the case. Sometimes we find a sideways market in the US and European session.

Yes agreed, however it is also worth mentioning that the worst time to trade is during holiday periods, as the market tends to slow down considerably. This can lead to some unpredictability too.

The worst time for trading forex typically occurs during periods of low liquidity and high volatility. These periods often coincide with market closures or overlaps between major trading sessions. One such time is during the "dead zone," which is the period when the Asian session is closing and the European session is yet to begin. This period usually spans from late evening to early morning in GMT time.

Additionally, trading during major holidays when financial markets are closed or operating with significantly reduced activity can be challenging due to thin trading volumes and erratic price movements. Another unfavorable time is during major economic announcements or geopolitical events, where sudden shifts in market sentiment can lead to unpredictable price fluctuations and increased risk.

Overall, traders should exercise caution during these times and consider adjusting their trading strategies to mitigate potential losses or opt to stay out of the market altogether until conditions improve.
