The best trading hours depend on which currency pair you trade. For example, wait for the London market to open if you are trading the GBP/USD pair.Avoid taking on a position in forex trading, or in any investment, that leaves you highly leveraged. Being leveraged means that you had to borrow money to cover the initial cost of the investment. It can be useful to use leverage to go into an investment if you have enough income to cover the debt. But if you do not, you risk bankruptcy should the investment fail to pan out.
