In the opening hours, traders enjoy great trading opportunities and high trading volumes.

Trading hours

Daylight Savings Time (DST) is generally applicable in autumn and spring; however, it is not equally applicable to all instruments. There will be instruments that apply DST to USA times, with the EU or APAC times, while others may not apply DST at all. We update our trading times in the table below to reflect these changes as accurately as possible.

The table below lists the trading hours per instrument so you know when orders must be settled and find trading opportunities according to when a market opens or closes.
