The Williams trade modified trading system commonly referred to as Williams Trade is a scalping strategy. It was submitted by Joy.
It is a special kind of trading system and used to trade the majors during the London and New York sessions. The New York session opens at eight am and closes at five pm of the EST time zone while the London opens at three in the morning and closes at twelve noon EST (EDT). Therefore there are some hours when the London and the New York sessions overlap since when the New York open it finds the London session still open. The two sessions overlap between 8:00 am and 12:00 noon EST (EDT).
Trading the currencies involved in the London and New York during the time the two trading sessions overlap give the best returns. For example, trading GBP/USD currency pair would give good results between eight in the morning and twelve noon EST when two markets for those currencies are active. The main reason for this is because at those overlapping trading hours there is the highest volume of trades and therefore more chances to win in the foreign currency exchange market due to the volatility of the market prices.
This trading system is best used in trading using the one and five timeframes chart. However for better results during scalping you should always go for the tightest timeframe. So it is best advisable to use the 1M timeframe when using this trading system to trade.
