Important times of the day



In his book "Beat the Forex Dealer", Augustin Silvani lists

important times of the day that all traders should be aware of:


00:00 Sydney Open (good time for an ambush)
11:00 LIBOR Spot Fixing (manipulation)
15:00 London FIX (corporate and "must do" flows)

17:00 NY options cut (manipulation)

18:00 Europe closes their books (reversal time)

19:15-19:30 Close of IMM (last minute positioning by Chicago traders)

All times are GMT

Manipulation and abnormal moves are common during these times, so keep your eyes peeled and watch your stops!
