I have used quite a few of these clocks and I like the Oanda market hours indicator best. This graphical representation is the easiest one for me to use and I hope you like it too.
Now let’s take a quick look at each session and how you should treat each one. There are slight nuances that you have to be aware of.
Breakdown Of the Trading Sessions:
It is important to understand which market is open because of the amount of trading that happens during each session. The more trading activity there is, the more price will move. Here is a screenshot of the historical trading volume that is associated with each session.
This screenshot comes from the Oanda Forex market hours widget. Keep in mind that this is not a live graph. Use the graph above, if you want to change your timezone.

Sydney
The Sydney market is the smallest and “opens” the Forex trading day. Although the markets are open 24 hours, trading volume drops off significantly when the New York session closes.
One should generally avoid entering trades during this time because the market is less likely to move and price action can be choppy. Trading during this time can be like watching grass grow.
Tokyo
When the Asian trading markets open, there is a slight bump in trading activity, but still not enough to warrant entering trades on most pairs. The USDJPY can be active during this time, so if you like to trade that pair, you should keep an eye out during this time.
But otherwise, other pairs will usually be range bound and not really worth looking at. Also, keep in mind that spreads may increase during this time and it might cost you more to enter/exit a trade.

Now, this is the time when the action starts. Trading volume will increase across all pairs and this is when it is worth entering trades.
There are several trading strategies that revolve around trading the Tokyo session breakout. Although there is a lot of trading happening during this session, the best is yet to come.
New York
Finally, we get to the New York session. The overlap between the Asian session and the New York session has the most trading volume during the trading day. This is the best time to trade Forex and spreads may decrease as volume increases.
This is when you can see big price runs and nice tradable price action. But this also means that you have to cut your losses faster. Do not forget the stop losses!
