Questions

Why do market hours matter if I am not a day trader?

The cash open still prices your book. Gaps, earnings, and the first hours of a listing’s home session decide whether a swing holds or fails. Knowing which venue is live tells you if a move has a real bid or is a thin print.

What are the four global sessions?

Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Each window follows that city’s institutional day. Equities, index futures, and crypto volume rotate through them. The map and rail are drawn in your timezone.

When does most equity and crypto volume print?

The London–New York overlap. US cash is open, Europe is still on the desk, and bitcoin and ether usually see their busiest stretch. Tokyo into London matters for Asia-listed names and the overnight futures tape.

Do session times change with daylight saving?

Yes. Hours here are local civil times in each financial center, so they move with daylight saving automatically. The map and rail stay in your timezone.

How do holidays and lunch breaks affect a book?

Stock exchanges close or pause. Fills get worse and the next open can gap. Crypto keeps trading, often with a thinner book. Holiday closures from the exchange feed show as closed even when the clock is inside regular hours.
