Sessions, not stock exchanges

Forex is a decentralised market. These financial centres help organise the trading day; no single exchange opens or closes the entire currency market.

Time zones handled for you

The calendar accounts for daylight saving time in each city. Session overlaps can shift when countries change their clocks on different dates.

Check your broker’s schedule

Bank holidays can reduce liquidity even during a scheduled session. Instrument hours, daily breaks and holiday closures depend on your broker.

How the session calendar works

The display uses indicative weekday session windows in each centre’s own time zone. It is a planning aid, not confirmation that a particular broker or instrument is available to trade. “Open” describes a scheduled session; it does not measure trading volume or liquidity.

Indicative session hours in each city’s local time
Session	Local hours	Time zone
Sydney	08:00–17:00	Australia/Sydney
Tokyo	09:00–18:00	Asia/Tokyo
London	08:00–17:00	Europe/London
New York	08:00–17:00	America/New_York

The weekly reference runs from Sunday 17:00 to Friday 17:00 in New York. A gap between highlighted regional sessions does not mean the worldwide market is closed. Public holidays are not automatically applied; broker schedules and rollover breaks can differ. The four local windows are a common convention, and session definitions vary between sources.
