The Forex Market Hours GMT Trading Session Indicator acts as a world trading clock, displaying the schedules of all five major forex sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, Frankfurt, London, and New York.
Since the forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, understanding market hours is crucial. Each trading day is divided into three major sessions: Asian, European, and North American. Price movement and volatility vary across sessions—for instance, the Asian session tends to be slower compared to the London and New York sessions. Knowing the schedule helps traders plan entries, exits, and trading strategies according to their style.
