Market sessions clock

The four main forex sessions, live, in your time zone. Daylight saving changes are handled automatically.

How it is worked out

Each session runs from about 08:00 to 17:00 local time in its city (Sydney 07:00–16:00). Forex trades from Sunday 17:00 to Friday 17:00 New York time. The London–New York overlap is usually the most liquid time of day.

Questions

When is the best time to trade forex?

Liquidity is highest when sessions overlap, especially London and New York. Spreads are often widest just after the Sunday open and around the daily 17:00 New York rollover.
