Trading Sessions

The Forex market is open 24 hours a day. There aren't necessarily any trading sessions, like with the stock exchanges. However banks in different regions of the world have different trading hours. See the table below, to find out when Forex trading opens and closes at banks around the world. Times are listed in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, the time we typically use on our site) and EET (Eastern European Time, the time used on our servers and on our trading platforms).
