Which sessions are open right now, and when the next one opens, in your time zone.
When to trade
Volume (and most clean moves) comes when big sessions are open, especially the London / New York overlap. Indices like NQ and ES move most in the first 1–2 hours after the New York stock open at 9:30am ET. That's when I trade live, Monday to Friday.
Times follow each city's daylight-saving rules automatically and are shown in your own time zone.
