If you’re asking which forex trading session is open now, the answer depends on your current local time and the global forex trading schedule. The forex market operates across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York — each aligned with a major financial centre.

Current Status (Based on GMT)

Here’s how to determine which session is open right now:

Session	Open (GMT)	Close (GMT)
Sydney	10:00 PM	7:00 AM
Tokyo	12:00 AM	9:00 AM
London	8:00 AM	5:00 PM
New York	1:00 PM	10:00 PM

Check Your Local Time (Examples)

Location	Session Open Now (Weekdays)
India (IST)	Tokyo or London (depending on time)
UK (BST/GMT)	London or New York
USA (EST)	New York or end of London session
Kenya (EAT)	London or early New York session

If you’re checking on a Saturday or early Sunday, the market is closed, and no sessions are active until Sunday 10:00 PM GMT.

How To Confirm Live Session Status

• Use real-time forex clocks (e.g. ForexMarketHours.com)
• Check your trading platform (MT4/MT5 or TradingView) for live session overlays
• Most brokers display active sessions with volume indicators

Conclusion

If you’re asking which forex trading session is open now, it depends on your current time and day. Use the GMT-based session times above to identify which markets are active. The most active and profitable periods occur during London and New York overlaps.
