Why Most Traders Lose Money During the London–New York Overlap
Why do so many traders lose money during the London–New York overlap, even when the forex market is at its busiest?The London–New York overlap is one of the most active periods in the forex market. With London and New York trading simultaneously, major currency pairs such as EUR/USD can experience increased trading activity, sharper price movements and more opportunities. But more volatility does not automatically mean better trading results.
In this video, we explain why traders lose money during the London–New York overlap, how fast-moving markets encourage impulsive decisions, and why chasing candles can turn a promising trading session into an expensive mistake.
We explore how FOMO, emotional entries, moving stop-losses, overtrading and revenge trading can undermine a trader’s strategy when the market starts moving quickly. We also look at why US economic data released while European markets are open can move currencies, bond yields, stocks and gold.
You’ll also learn why having a trading setup matters more than simply being active during the busiest forex session, how to review your own trading journal, and what separates a disciplined trader from someone who reacts to every big candle.
In this video, we cover:
- Why the London–New York overlap attracts so much forex trading activity
- How increased volatility can create both opportunities and risks
- Why traders chase candles and enter after a move has already started
- How FOMO, stop-loss adjustments and revenge trading damage trading discipline
- How US economic releases can affect forex markets during the overlap
- Why a trading journal can reveal repeated mistakes
- How to focus on your setup instead of the excitement of a fast market
The key lesson? The busiest forex session is not necessarily your most profitable session. A market moving quickly is not a reason to abandon your plan. Learn to recognise your setup, manage risk and accept that missing a trade is often better than chasing one.
