Market Hours: whenliquidity comes and goes.

Forex market hours decide when a market moves and when it sleeps. Exchange Market Hours puts every major session on 1 clock, so you see which markets are open right now and when liquidity arrives and leaves.

The busiest window is the overlap of London and New York.

What it shows

Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York on a 24-hour clock in your time zone, with the overlaps highlighted and a marker for now.

How to use it

Plan your trading around liquidity. Breakouts in the Asia session often fade, while the London open and the New York overlap bring the real moves.

Use it in real trading

The tool informs the decision, it never makes it. Here is how it plays out on real trading days.

1
Good timing

Your EURUSD plan is ready before the London open. You wait for the session start instead of trading the quiet Asia hours.

2
Bad timing

A breakout happens late in New York with liquidity leaving. You do not chase it.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Trading breakouts in thin hours.
  • Forgetting daylight saving time changes.
  • Holding tight stops through the session change.

What makes it different

The session clock sits next to the calendar, so you see both the time and the event that can move the market.
