Trading hours: when can I trade each market?

Forex trades 24 hours a day, Sunday 21:00 UTC to Friday 21:00 UTC, with three rolling sessions (Tokyo, London, New York). Crypto trades 24/7 with no break. Stocks and stock indices follow the underlying exchange (NYSE: 13:30–20:00 UTC). Commodities have their own schedules. Specific hours per instrument are shown in the platform's instrument specification.

Forex

The Forex market opens Sunday at 21:00 UTC and closes Friday at 21:00 UTC. Within that, three sessions overlap: Tokyo (00:00–09:00 UTC), London (08:00–17:00 UTC), and New York (13:00–22:00 UTC). The London/New York overlap (13:00–17:00 UTC) is typically the most liquid and volatile period — best spreads, fastest fills. Please note that market sessions usually shift twice a year due to daylight saving time in London and New York.

Crypto

Crypto markets are 24/7. There is no weekend close. Volume tends to be lower at weekends, which can mean wider spreads. Major news breaking on a Saturday will move crypto markets immediately, while Forex won't react until Sunday's open.

  • US stocks (Apple, Tesla, Microsoft): NYSE/Nasdaq hours, 13:30–20:00 UTC weekdays.

Important notes

  • Spreads may widen near the daily close and re-open of certain instruments as market liquidity decreases. Avoid placing market orders during these periods if possible.

  • The daily rollover for Forex and CFDs typically occurs at 21:00 UTC (some platforms may display this as 22:00 server time). Holding positions past this time may result in swap charges.

  • Trading hours and market holidays vary by instrument and are shown in the instrument specification on the platform.

  • Some instruments, such as synthetic indices, are available for trading 24/7.
