Forex Market Hours
Forex trades 24 hours a day on weekdays, passing between four main sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York. Timing matters because liquidity and price movement change through the day. Moves are usually biggest when sessions overlap, especially London and New York, and quieter in the gaps.
How to use: the chart shows today in your own time zone (detected automatically). The white line marks the current time, and open sessions are highlighted.

Session hours are typical main trading hours (Sydney 07:00–16:00, Tokyo 09:00–18:00, London 08:00–17:00, New York 08:00–17:00 local). Daylight-saving changes in each city are applied automatically. The market closes for the weekend from Friday 17:00 New York time until Sunday 17:00 New York time. Brokers and holidays can vary.
