Forex Trading Fundamentals in Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s location offers active trading sessions during London and Sydney overlaps. These periods increase volatility in pairs like GBP/USD and AUD/USD. Our platform provides 107 forex pairs including major, minor, and exotic pairs relevant to Hong Kong traders. Popular HKD pairs such as USD/HKD, EUR/HKD, and GBP/HKD feature tight spreads averaging 1.2 pips in peak hours.
- Trade major forex pairs with competitive spreads
- Monitor London-Hong Kong and Hong Kong-Sydney session overlaps
- Use currency correlations for portfolio diversification
- Apply technical and fundamental analysis for entry timing
- Manage risk with stop loss and position sizing
Correlation analysis aids in risk management. For instance, AUD/USD and NZD/USD share an 85% positive correlation, which helps in hedging strategies. EUR/USD and USD/CHF typically show 90% negative correlation. Understanding these relationships supports better decision-making.
Major Currency Pairs Analysis
EUR/USD is the most liquid pair, with over $1.2 trillion daily volume. Spreads start at 0.6 pips during London session (3:00-11:00 PM HKT). Economic data from the ECB and Fed heavily influence price movements. GBP/USD volatility peaks during UK economic releases between 4:30-6:00 PM HKT, with daily ranges of 120-150 pips. USD/JPY reacts to Japanese monetary policy and US Treasury yields, with intervention zones near 145.00-150.00.
Currency Pair | Average Spread | Peak Volatility Time (HKT) | Key Influence |
---|---|---|---|
EUR/USD | 0.6 pips | 3:00-11:00 PM | ECB, Fed announcements |
GBP/USD | 1.1 pips | 4:30-6:00 PM | UK economic data |
USD/JPY | 0.8 pips | 8:00 AM-5:00 PM | BOJ policy, US yields |
Position sizing is essential. For example, risking 2% of a $1,000 account ($20) with a 50-pip stop loss on EUR/USD translates to a 0.04 lot position size. Using ATR helps determine appropriate stop distances based on volatility.
CFD Trading Opportunities
Our company also offers CFDs on indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and stocks. Hong Kong traders can trade Hang Seng Index CFDs with 1:100 leverage and spreads from 1.6 points. The contract size is 1 HKD per point, simplifying calculations. Commodities include gold with 0.22 point spreads and 1:2000 leverage, silver with 0.032 points spread and 1:400 leverage. These assets provide diversification beyond forex.

Gold (XAU/USD) | 0.22 points | 1:2000 | 100 oz |
