Best Time to Trade Forex from the UAE (GST / UTC+4)
Dubai traders on GST (UTC+4) see London liquidity from roughly 12:00–21:00 and New York from ~17:30–02:00. Overlap ~17:30–21:00 is busiest for EUR/USD and gold. Asian afternoon can be quiet — wider spreads on FxPro like any broker.

London morning
EUR, GBP pairs wake up — good for breakout strategies if you work UAE office hours and trade at lunch.
NY overlap
Highest volume; NFP and FOMC hit here — slippage both ways.
Ramadan / local holidays
You may trade shorter hours personally; markets still roll swap at server time regardless.
