Generate a custom schedule below to show when each instrument is open or in close-only/quote-only mode, or unavailable to trade altogether.
You can select either a group or a specific instrument, then filter by date range and timezone to configure your schedule. The schedule will reflect updated hours in your timezone and include known holidays, maintenance, and DST changes. Our trading servers follow the UTC+0 timezone.
Rollover period
+
Rollover is when open spot trades move from one trading day to the next without settlement. Liquidity may be lower during rollover, which can cause wider spreads.
Rollover usually happens from Sunday to Thursday at 21:00 UTC+0 in summer and 22:00 UTC+0 in winter. The period usually lasts 1–2 hours, but lower liquidity may last longer depending on the instrument.
During rollover:
- Spreads may widen.
- Swap may be credited or charged on open positions.
- Dividends may apply to some orders.
- Trading and financial operations may pause for a few minutes.

Gold (XAUUSD) is usually closed during forex rollover. However, liquidity may still be thinner than usual around this time.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
+
Some countries change their clocks during summer and winter. This may affect market opening and closing times.

Swap is credited or charged at 21:00 UTC+0 or 22:00 UTC+0, depending on the season. Read more about when swap is charged during summer and winter.
