Forex market is the exchange that is active the whole working week.  In this article, I will discuss forex opening times for different world countries. We will use Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as the standard time zones.

When does the forex market open?

Forex market opens at 5 p.m. EST on Sunday (10 p.m. GMT) wintertime. The exact time to start trading depends on the broker and the international time zone to which the broker belongs. The forex market is open 24 hours a day, during working days,  in different parts of the world, from 5 p.m. EST (10 p.m. GMT) on Sunday until 4 p.m. EST (9 p.m. GMT) on Friday during wintertime. The forex market opens on Sunday at 4 pm EST (21 GMT) and closes on Friday at 4 pm EST (21 GMT) during Summer Time (daylight saving time).

A weekend price gap occurs because there is often a difference in price between Friday’s close and Sunday’s opening.

In the forex trading industry, traders trade using brokers. The brokers working time is significant when we talk about forex market open and forex market close time. The biggest number of Metatrader brokers are located in Europe, the USA, Australia, and other countries. If you are a Metatrader platform trader, it is excellent to know the trading times for a particular broker.
