Trading sessions and liquidity

Explore time zones, session overlaps, holidays and execution conditions.

Different markets have different hours

Hours depend on the instrument, exchange and platform rules. Check daylight saving time and holiday schedules as well.

Liquidity and spreads

Liquidity describes the ability to absorb buy and sell orders. Spreads and execution conditions can change when participation falls or volatility rises.

From market hours to execution

Understand when orders are accepted or trading pauses, and the limits of stop losses during gaps. Do not assume every instrument trades continuously.
