💡 Trading Tip: The most liquid trading periods are when major markets overlap - particularly the London-New York overlap (2:30 PM - 4:30 PM UTC).

⚠️ Risk Warning: Extended hours trading carries higher risks due to lower liquidity, higher volatility, and wider spreads. Only experienced traders should participate.

📅 Pro Tip: Holiday schedules can change. Always verify with the specific exchange before major holidays, especially for half-day trading sessions.

🕐 Timing Your Trades

• London-NY Overlap: Highest volume (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST)
• Asian Session: Best for Asian stocks and currencies
• Friday Afternoons: Lower volume, avoid major positions
• First 30 minutes: High volatility, wait for stability
• Last 30 minutes: Institutional activity increases

🌍 Multi-Market Strategy

• Diversification: Spread risk across time zones
• Currency Impact: Consider FX fluctuations
• Economic Calendars: Track global economic events
• Correlations: Understand market relationships
• News Flow: Monitor 24/7 global news
