market Trading Hours
Leverage the trading hours of major stock exchanges to capitalize on every opportunity in the market.
The MetaTrader platform shows Eastern European Time (EET) as a default.
Trading sessions begin in different countries at different times. Traders from those regions are most active during those times. The overall number of active traders on the market increases when sessions overlap.
| Session | Opening hours (EET time) |
|---|---|
Pacific (Sydney) | 00:00–09:00 |
Asian (Tokyo) | 02:00–11:00 |
European (London) | 10:00–19:00 |
American (New York) | 15:00–00:00 |
Not all stocks are open 24/7; the time certain instruments are open depends on the stock exchange they belong to.
