How much time can be spent on Forex trading daily?

[skrimon]

The optimal time for intraday trading is the first two hours the stock market is open.

From Sunday evening at 5 p.m. EST to Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. EST, the foreign exchange market is open 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Because of the wide range of worldwide time zones, the foreign exchange market is open for business around the clock.

A lot of forex traders find the 1-hour charts to be the most conducive to their trading style. It's not too short of a time frame, and the number of trade opportunities is manageable. This time range for trading allows for more leisurely market analysis and less time.

10 hours a day is a full time Forex trader and if you plan to do it a part time then you can have something like 5 hours daliy

I'd say it depends on what kind of trader you are - the first two hours is doable, but a lot longer per day is difficult for those that might have other obligations. Being a full time trader is probably a dream that many have but just haven't gotten to yet.

I guess that depends on the objectives of your trades and style. There are trades who sit in front of the screens all day, but don’t make a good trade. On the other hand, some traders make the same profit in a single trade.
