Depends on what strategy and system your using.

The new expected range indicator will help you greatly in determining best strategy based on hours of day being used.

To answer you correctly I would need to know what strategy otm itm atm binaries strangles ratios. Double binaries spreads etc.

Fx has low risk spreads so does silver copper and us tech 100 (nq)

Won’t make a lot but won’t lose a lot either on a single contract do to how they tick.

ES ZC ZS have highest leverage tick ratio as they tick smaller.

James,

Your welcome.

For the most volume on EURUSD, it would start with the European market session and then the US market session. Best volume starts around 3am EST (that’s Europe open), Then 8am EST for US. But of course FX trades around the clock. Be aware that if your trading NADEX there is a break in the contracts being offered at 6pm EST (NADEX closed) then reopens at 7pm EST. ALWAYS check Darrell’s News Calendar daily before you start trading. If you don’t and you’re just looking at your chart analysis, you’ll get blind sided, guaranteed! A few good links:

Here is an example for you of the past 24 hours… note we update these levels every single day every single hour…

This shows the expected range we show on our expected range indicator for that hour - (orange bar) and the blue arrow shows the range that was hit… most hours it is spot on (within a few ticks) as you can see…

I hope this helps (but again remember these levels change every day every hour so the indicator keeps up with it for you but should be a good starting point.
