Trading Forex Majors Calendar

The Forex majors are the most actively traded and liquid currency pairs in the global foreign exchange market. Collectively, they account for over 85% of the total daily trading volume, making them central to most trading strategies.

These pairs are favored by institutional and retail traders alike due to their:

• High liquidity
• Tight bid/ask spreads
• Reliable historical data

Such characteristics make Forex majors particularly suitable for scalping, intraday trading, and algorithmic strategies.
