One major benefit of Forex, indices, commodities and cryptocurrency trading is they all trade nearly
24 hours a day, 5 days a week. That is from 5 PM New York on Sunday through to 5 PM New York on Friday, and almost every week day of the year.

That’s a lot of trading and opportunities!

Trading hours can also be viewed below or from within the MetaTrader and TraderEvolution trading platforms.

Global Prime Trading Hours
Global Prime

Ensures a 5 daily candle week for all clients

The GMT offset is either +2 or +3 depending on whether Daylight savings time is in effect or not.

Market Opens

When the liquidity providers pricing into Global Prime switch online (Monday session start) and switch offline (Friday session end) the spreads can be wider as the liquidity providers reset and liquidity is low.

To ensure our clients positions are not stopped out by the widened spread, we commence pricing on Monday 2 minutes after the market open and close pricing on Friday 3 minutes before market close.

Daily Trading Break

There is a daily 3 minute break in trading from 23:59-00:02 platform time. Clients are able to see the prices streaming during this break. No orders can be placed and pre-existing orders cannot be executed during this time.

This is to safeguard from positions with a Stop Loss getting hit by the potential spread spike that can occur over rollover when Liquidity Providers reset their pricing for the new trading day at 00:00 platform time (which is 5pm New York ET).
