Trading sessions and liquidity

Understand overlapping regional trading hours.

Basics

The essentials

Forex trading spans regional financial centres. Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York are useful reference sessions, but the market has no single universal opening bell. Broker trading hours, holidays and instruments can differ.

Put it in context

Overlaps often attract activity, but volume and execution quality are not guaranteed. Daylight-saving changes happen on different dates across countries and can change the session times displayed in your zone.

Before you act

Use the market-hours converter for reference. Confirm broker hours before planning trades around a session open or close.
