How to read trading hours
Understanding time zones, trading sessions (pre-market, regular, after-hours), and the opening hours of individual exchanges enables you to respond to market movements as they happen.
Time zone: All times here are shown in server time (GMT+3) and are subject to Daylight Saving Time (DST).
Our server time is set to GMT+3 during US daylight saving time (March to November) and shifts to GMT+2 during US standard time (November to March). This ensures that daily candles close in line with the New York trading day.
Please adjust to your local time when trading.

FAQs
DST stands for daylight saving time. During DST, clocks are set forward by one hour in some regions. This can shift local trading hours for markets. Our server shifts to GMT+3 during US daylight saving time (summer) and stays at GMT+2 in winter. This keeps daily candles and trading sessions aligned with the New York market. Depending on your local time, session times may appear 1 hour earlier or later, but your trades, stops, and charts remain consistent.
Pepperstone shows all trading hours based on the server time, which is GMT+2 in winter (US standard time) and GMT+3 in summer (US daylight saving time). This ensures that daily candles, market opens, and closes stay aligned with the underlying markets.
There is no right or wrong time or even a preferred trading session when it comes to trading margin FX or any other financial products. It's important to consider factors such as volatility, favourable trading conditions, tighter spreads, market sentiment, and supply and demand when trading.
Major global exchanges have set opening and closing hours based on their local time zones.
New York (NYSE/NASDAQ): 09:30 - 16:00 EST
London (LSE): 08:00 - 16:30 GMT
Europe (Euronext, Frankfurt): 09:00 - 17:30 CET
Tokyo (TSE): 09:00 - 15:00 JST
Australia (ASX): 10:00 - 16:00 AEST
Note: Times shift during daylight saving periods in regions that observe DST. Always adjust to your local time zone and remember that Pepperstone server time follows GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in summer. Use server time for charts, daily candles, and order timing to avoid confusion.
