The London-New York overlap (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM GMT) is typically the most volatile period, followed by the Asian-London overlap (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM GMT). These sessions see the highest trading volumes and price movements.
Most stock markets are closed on weekends, but the forex market operates 24/5 from Sunday 5:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST. Some cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7 throughout the entire week.
Daylight saving time changes can shift market opening times by one hour relative to your local time. Our tool automatically adjusts for these changes to ensure accurate session tracking throughout the year.
Pre-market (4:00 AM - 9:30 AM EST) and after-hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM EST) sessions allow limited trading outside regular hours. These sessions typically have lower liquidity and higher volatility than regular trading hours.
The London session is ideal for EUR and GBP pairs, while the New York session works best for USD pairs. The overlap between London and New York (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM GMT) offers the best conditions for most major currency pairs.
