How to read it

Four sessions, one continuous market.

Foreign exchange has no single exchange and no opening bell. It trades wherever banks are at their desks, so the day is described by the business hours of four cities.

The FX week runs from Monday morning in Sydney to 17:00 on Friday in New York. The session windows below are a convention, not a rule: quotes continue between them, with fewer participants.

Conventional FX session windows in each city’s local time
Session	Window, local time	Time zone
Sydney	08:00–17:00	Australia/Sydney
Tokyo	09:00–18:00	Asia/Tokyo
London	08:00–17:00	Europe/London
New York	08:00–17:00	America/New York

The overlaps

Sydney × TokyoThe Asia-Pacific morning. Both windows are open for most of the Tokyo business day, which is when the yen, the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar have their home sessions.
Tokyo × LondonA short hand-over at the start of the European day, as Asian desks close and London opens. Its length changes with daylight saving in the United Kingdom.
London × New YorkThe European afternoon and the American morning. Two of the largest FX centres are open together, and it is typically the most active window of the day. Activity is not direction: it says nothing about where a price will go.

Which overlaps exist, and for how long, depends on the season: the ribbon above draws them for today’s date. How the forex market is structured

What the four states mean.

Open: Inside the venue’s regular weekday session.
Pre-open: Within the hour before the regular session begins.
Midday break: The scheduled lunch pause observed by Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore.
