Exness Trading Schedule: Forex and CFDs Market Times

Understanding the Exness trading schedule is crucial for every trader who wants to optimize their trading strategy. Whether you're trading forex or CFDs, knowing the exact market open and close times gives you the advantage of planning trades during periods of high liquidity and avoiding times with low volatility and wide spreads.

Why Trading Times Matter

Every financial market operates according to its own trading hours. These schedules are determined by regional market sessions, time zones, and even public holidays. For traders using Exness, this means understanding when your desired asset class is available and when it's best to execute trades.

Trading during active hours—especially in overlapping sessions—can provide tighter spreads, faster order execution, and more trading opportunities.

Exness Forex Trading Schedule

The forex market operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, starting from Sunday 22:00 GMT to Friday 22:00 GMT. However, within this timeframe, four major trading sessions dominate:

  • Sydney Session

  • Tokyo Session

  • London Session

  • New York Session

With Exness, you can trade major, minor, and exotic currency pairs across all these sessions. The best trading opportunities often occur during overlaps, such as the London–New York overlap, when market activity and volume are highest.

For real-time forex trading times, log into your Exness Client Area or check the instrument details directly on the official Exness platform.

CFDs Market Hours at Exness

Unlike forex, CFDs on indices, stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies follow the trading hours of their underlying markets or exchanges.

Here’s what to know:

  • Indices and Stocks CFDs: These are based on real-world stock exchanges like the NYSE, NASDAQ, FTSE, and others. Trading times are limited to the opening hours of these exchanges.

  • Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.): Commodity trading hours depend on futures market schedules. For example, gold (XAU/USD) typically trades nearly 24 hours but has a short daily break.

  • Crypto CFDs: One of the most attractive assets for weekend traders, cryptocurrencies are available 24/7, giving you complete freedom to trade even when other markets are closed.

To view trading hours for each CFD, simply search for the instrument under the "Specifications" section in your trading platform or visit the Exness instrument page.

Be Aware of Holidays and Maintenance Breaks

Market holidays and server maintenance can impact the availability of some instruments. Exness updates its clients in advance about such changes via email, platform notifications, and announcements on the Client Area.

To avoid disruptions, it’s smart to double-check schedules during:

  • Christmas & New Year holidays

  • U.S. public holidays

  • Regional exchange holidays (for indices and stocks)

Trading Time Tips for Better Results

To improve your results based on the Exness trading schedule, consider the following:

  • Focus on high-liquidity periods like the London–New York overlap.

  • Avoid trading during rollover hours (around 21:00–22:00 GMT), when spreads may widen.

  • Use economic calendars to avoid surprises from high-impact news releases.

  • Trade crypto on weekends if you're looking to stay active outside traditional market times.

By aligning your strategy with Exness market times, you increase the likelihood of getting better pricing and execution.

Final Thoughts

Mastering the Exness trading schedule is not just about knowing when markets open and close. It’s about understanding market behavior, liquidity patterns, and timing your entries for optimal execution. Whether you're trading forex, commodities, stocks, or crypto, being in sync with the market hours can significantly enhance your trading performance.
