How to Find Your Best Trading Hours and Sessions
There is no universal best session. Your best time emerges from your strategy, market, mental focus and personal trade data.
What to compare
Review trade count, net P&L, win rate, Profit Factor and expectancy for every hour and session. Two oversized wins are not enough evidence.
Time zones and DST
Entry time must use a defined time zone and daylight-saving rules. Otherwise London and New York trades can fall into the wrong category.
Make a practical decision
Do not immediately remove weak hours. Identify whether liquidity, fatigue, setup type or sample size is responsible, test a restriction and measure again.
