Lot size calculatorThe week opens with the Sydney session: Sunday at 20:00 Portugal time in winter. It closes when New York closes: Friday at 22:00. Your broker's exact hours can differ by a few minutes.
The London–New York overlap, when volume and moves are largest: 13:00 – 17:00 in winter and 13:00 – 17:00 in summer. Main US data come out at 13:30 (winter), so check the economic calendar before you trade that hour.
Yes. Portugal moves its clocks forward in summer, and so do London and New York, but not on the same dates. Use the table for each season and the live clock above, which follows every change automatically.
