Market timing
Forex Market Sessions
See the major forex sessions in your timezone, compare overlap periods, and plan around daylight-saving changes.
Important: Session hours describe typical participation, not market direction. Verify holidays, broker schedules, and economic events.
How to use the forex session clock
Use the clock to understand which major forex sessions are active, when the next transition happens, and where overlap windows sit in your selected timezone. Treat session timing as planning context, then verify news, broker availability, and your own written plan before moving to a session check.
Why session timing matters
Forex liquidity changes through the day because Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York do not all operate at the same time. Overlap windows can have deeper participation, but that does not make direction predictable. The purpose of this page is to help you classify the market window before using the Session Risk Planner, not to decide what to trade.
