Frequently Asked Questions
Forex market sessions are the main trading hours of the world's largest financial centers: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Each session has its own open and close times in UTC, and overlap periods (e.g. London and New York) typically see the highest volume and volatility.
The best time to trade is usually during session overlaps—especially London and New York (around 13:00–17:00 UTC)—when liquidity and volatility are high. Asian session (Tokyo) is good for JPY pairs; Sydney opens first and can set the tone for the day.
The four major sessions are: Sydney (approx. 22:00–07:00 UTC), Tokyo (00:00–09:00 UTC), London (08:00–17:00 UTC), and New York (13:00–22:00 UTC). Times can vary with daylight saving changes in each region.
Use the clock to see which markets are open or closed in your timezone. Select your timezone from the dropdown, and check the session cards and table for current local times, status (open/closed), and time remaining until open or close.
Market hours affect liquidity, spreads, and volatility. Trading when major sessions are open usually means tighter spreads and more predictable moves. Knowing when markets open or close helps you plan entries, exits, and risk.
