P.S. Please don't take this as an endorsement of 4xmadeeasy. They are a B.S. site that happens to have a few useful slides.



P.S.S. There is a better slide that they have moved that I can't find right now. It shows the overlap of when the forex desks are open for each pair. When I find it again I will post it here.







Cheers,
