The Forex Market Status

The Smart FX-Market Status Tool!

The forex market is available for trading 24 hours a day, five and one-half days per week. Our Smart FX-Market Status Tool displays "OPEN" or "CLOSED" Status to indicate the current state of each Global Market Center.

Just because you can trade the market any time of the day or night doesn't necessarily mean that you should. Most successful traders understand that more trades are successful if conducted when market activity is high and that it is best to avoid times when trading activity is low.

A compact version of the Smart FX-Market Status Tool you will find on our floating Toolbox on the left side of your screen, which can be accessed at anytime without leaving your current page location.

How to Use the Smart FX-Market Status Tool:

Concentrate your trading activity during the trading hours of the three largest Market Centers:
London (GBP-Market), New York (USD-Market) and Tokyo (JPY-Market).
Most market activity will occur when one of these three markets are open.
Some of the most active market times will occur when two or more Market Centers are open at the same time. The Smart FX-Market Tool will clearly indicate when two or more markets are "OPEN".
If one major Market Center will open strong movements are to be expected. With the remaining time countdown of the OPEN/CLOSE column you can easily prepare for this movements.
