Hello,
The most active times of the day in the FX market are the European session from 07.00 - 09.00ish London time and 13.00 - 18.00, which covers the East Coast morning session.
The Asian session opens around midnight London time. However, the Asian morning session tends to be on the slow side for the non-JPY pairs until the European market opens at 07.00.
Because of your restricted hours, I would suggest trading daily bars for the time being. You can then take your market view during the previous evening and place your trades 15/20 minutes after the European open when things have settled down just before you leave for work.
I hope it helps.
Best,
Kevin
