Session and killzone clock

Forex sessions and ICT killzones in your own time zone.

Sessions

  • Sydney 07:00–16:00 (Sydney)
  • Tokyo 09:00–18:00 (Tokyo)
  • London 08:00–17:00 (London)
  • New York 08:00–17:00 (New York)

Killzones

  • Asia killzone 20:00–00:00 (New York)
  • London killzone 02:00–05:00 (New York)
  • New York killzone 07:00–10:00 (New York)
  • London close 10:00–12:00 (New York)

Sessions use each city's local hours, killzones use New York time; daylight saving is handled automatically. Killzones are conventions traders watch for liquidity, not guarantees.

How the clock works

Each session is defined in its own city's local time, and the killzones in New York time. The clock converts them to your time zone using your browser's time zone data, so the daylight saving changes in the US and in Europe are handled automatically.

How to read it

  • The timeline shows today in your local time. Blue blocks are sessions, amber blocks are killzones, and the red line is now.
  • Below the timeline, each session and killzone shows whether it is open, and when it opens or closes.
  • At the weekend, the clock counts down to the market reopening on Sunday at 17:00 New York time.

Why it matters for gold

Gold is usually most active in the London session and in the London and New York overlap. Major US data is released at 08:30 New York time, which often moves the price at the start of the New York session.
