How to use it
- Is the market open now?Here is the market state now, your time, and the “Next event” with a countdown to the next session opening or closing.
- Pick your time zoneAll times show in your device’s time zone. Tap here to choose another city, such as Amman, Riyadh or London.
- The four sessionsEach row is a session: the coloured bar is its open hours across the day, the vertical line is now, and beside it when it opens or closes.
- The overlapsWhen two sessions are open together, liquidity usually rises. Each card shows the overlap time, its liquidity and volatility, and the pairs most active then.
Why it helps
The market behaves very differently from one hour to the next. When two sessions overlap, such as London and New York, liquidity usually rises and prices move more, while some hours are quiet. Knowing which session is open in your own time helps you choose your trading hours and see which pairs are most active in each overlap.
FAQ
What time does the London session open in my time zone?
It shifts with daylight saving in Europe and the US. Pick your city in the tool to see every session’s hours worked out for today, instead of relying on a fixed table that may be out of date.
What is the best time to trade forex?
Many traders prefer session overlaps because liquidity is usually higher. The tool lists each overlap with its time and liquidity; the best time for you depends on the pairs you trade and your style.
Is forex open at the weekend?
No. The market closes at the weekend and reopens with the Sydney session. The tool shows the market state now and a countdown to the open.
