# Sessions

Trading sessions are especially useful for retail traders because they help identify when the market offers the best trading conditions. During major sessions like London and New York, higher institutional activity increases liquidity and volatility, which often leads to tighter spreads, smoother price movement, and faster order execution. \
\
This can reduce trading costs, improve entries and exits, and create more reliable opportunities compared to quieter market hours with low volume and unpredictable movement.

Users can enable and display the following key sessions:

* Asia
* NY
* London

Once select users will see blocks of highlighted sesions.
