Explanation of Trade Warnings, Notices, Etc

This is a warning just to let you know that trading is about to reach "end of day". The main thing to note about this time, is that spreads tend to be temporarily higher around this time.

Monday through Thursday, this just means a new trading day will begin, and the next session starts. (Note that this will cause a small swap fee to be placed on any open trades carried through the "End of Day" to "the New Trading Day" -- which is typically known as "End of Day Session Change Over".

On Friday, this means the entire trading week is over, so you would want to consider whether or not you are going to leave any trades open over the weekend. (Note that leaving trades open over the weekend can cause a small swap fee to be placed on each open trade).

This is to warn you about trading during what is typically known as "End of Day Session Change Over". The reason for the warning is because spreads can be temporarily higher during this time, and in some cases can be less profitable to take trades (depending on the spreads).

This is to warn you that London session is near, or the trade setup was called during London session. This is important because this session moves very fast, and can have some "wild" moves. This isn't always the best session for beginners!

Explanation of Trading Sessions

London session is a timeframe that starts at 3am EST and ends at 12pm EST. This is considered a "high volatility" session, where the charts can move very fast. It is recommended to have a bit of experience before attempting to trade during London session. This session is called the London session, because this is when the London exchange is open.

New York session is a timeframe that starts at 8am EST and ends at 5pm EST. While this session can be volatile (especially in the beginning hours) it can also be more beginner friendly towards the middle and end of this session. This session is called the New York Session, because this is when the New York exchange is open.

The Aussie session, also known as Sydney session, or Australian session, is a timeframe that starts at 4:00pm EST or 6:00pm EDT and ends at 1am EST or 3am EDT. This is usually considered a low volatility session, and is often not favored for trading. Especially because spreads can get higher during this session. This is also known as the "crossover time" where the end of the trading day happens at 5:00 pm EST, and a new trading day starts (unless it is Friday). This session is called the Aussie session because this is when the Sydney exchange is open.

The Asia, or Tokyo session is a timeframe that starts at 6:00pm EST or 7pm EDT and ends at 3am EST or 4am EDT. This is typically a session that starts out slower than London, and New York. A lot of the time it can have higher volatility than Aussie session, but it does not usually have as much volatility as London or New York. Though at times, especially during news releases, volatility can pick up during the middle of this session. Overall, it is typically favored as a ranging session -- which is usually good for scalping. Towards the end of the session, volatility typically picks up, as London session approaches. This session is called Asia session because this is when the Tokyo exchange is open.
