Merge Trades
Combine multiple individual positions into a single trade entry. Useful when you scale into a position across several orders — for example, three separate XAUUSD Long entries targeting different take profit levels. The merged trade will use a weighted average entry price, combined lot size, all TP levels, and summed P&L.

How to Use Market Sessions
Understanding when to trade is just as important as knowing what to trade.
Fig 1 — The Four Major Sessions
Trading Sessions
The forex market runs 24 hours on weekdays split across four major financial centres. Each session aligns with the local business day of banks and institutions in that city. More banks trading = more liquidity = tighter spreads and better fills.

Each coloured bar in the session tracker above represents when that exchange is open. When bars overlap, both sets of participants are active at the same time.
00040812162024 Sydney 22–07 UTC Tokyo 00–09 UTC London 07–16 UTC New York 13–22 UTC All times UTC (DST-adjusted in the tracker above)
Fig 2 — Trading Volume
Why Volume Matters
High volume means more participants competing for price, which compresses spreads and reduces slippage. Trying to trade in thin markets is unpredictable — price can gap or reverse on a single order.

The volume curve at the top of the page shows typical activity across 24h UTC. The orange dashed line is your current time position on that curve. The label above the curve tells you the current volume level.
Peak volume Low Low 00 UTC 12 UTC 24 UTC
Fig 3 — Session Overlaps
Trade the Overlaps
The best opportunities arise when two sessions are open simultaneously. Volume spikes, spreads compress, and price moves with conviction as two pools of institutional flow merge.

The London/NY overlap is the most important window of the trading day. More than 50% of daily forex volume is concentrated across these two sessions.
