Forex Market Hours and Trading Sessions

Forex is a decentralized market, which operates through various financial centers of the world. Since these financial centers are located in different time zones, for all account types the Forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week from 00:02:00 (GMT+3) Mondays till 23:58:59 (GMT+3) Fridays. Friday is the last day of the currency market operation, because large market participants, including various financial institutions, large funds, companies, and banks, are closed for the weekend.

Trading Sessions

The foreign exchange market has specific working hours. There are several Forex trading sessions with different schedules. During each session, there is a certain currency that experiences high volatility.

Session City Open (EET*) Close (EET*)
Pacific Sydney 0:00 9:00
Asian Tokyo 2:00-3:00 11:00-12:00
European London 10:00 19:00
American New York 15:00-16:00 0:00-1:00

* Eastern European time: GMT+2 winter; GMT+3 summer

  • Pacific trading session

    Forex starts its working hours when the Pacific session opens on Monday local time. This session is characterized by rather low volatility, and, as a matter of fact, this is the most peaceful time in the market.

  • Asian trading session

    The Asian session follows the Pacific session. Currency pairs that include USD, EUR, JPY, and AUD are traded actively during these hours. The high trading volume of AUD takes place due to the intersection of the working time of this session with the Pacific one.

  • European trading session

    The opening of the European session starts in financial centers such as Frankfurt, Zürich, and Paris. Trading gets even more active when it comes to London. The activity fades away during lunchtime but then resumes by evening. Fairly strong volatility may be noticed during the European session because the European zone has a large money turnover.

  • American trading session

    The most active time in the foreign exchange market is the beginning of the American session because it reaches the opening hours in New York and the renewal of trading in Europe. Fundamental news of high importance is released at the beginning of the American session. It is characterized by high activity especially on Friday before the trading is closed.

How to Use This Info in Practice?

To make use of knowing the Forex trading hours, mind the following tips:
  • The highest trading activity is observed during the European and American sessions, so this is the best time to trade. In those hours, most transactions are carried out, and trading spreads are the lowest.
  • You may also notice that some trading sessions overlap, so during these hours, volatility is usually the highest.
  • In the Asian session, the Japanese yen is traded the most actively.
  • The activity in the European session is the highest during two periods: 10:00-14:00 and 15:00-19:00.
  • Be careful during the "thin" market – a transitional time between sessions when there is not enough liquidity to maintain a stable price chart, i.e. strong impulses are possible.
  • During the New Year rally, large banks and exchanges are closed for holidays; companies withdraw funds for summing up the results and reporting. This is a long "thin" market when you need to be extremely careful.
  • The gap often follows the market opening after the weekend, so we recommend you protect your funds by placing Stop Loss and Take Profit orders or even close all positions on Friday.

Trading Schedule Changes

Trading schedules may change due to holidays such as Christmas, US Independence Day, Labour Day, etc. During some holidays, when markets are closed, trading is not carried out at all. In other cases, market hours may be shifted.

JustMarkets always publishes the updated trading schedule if the market hours change. You can find the updates in the News section. Please follow our news to be aware of any schedule shifts. We recommend you take trading schedule changes into account as you may need to revise your trading plan if, for example, low liquidity is expected in the market.
