Stop converting time zones and focus on your trades. Trading Sessions shows when the Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York sessions open and close, in your local time, and keeps it accurate when daylight saving changes. Every time comes from each city's official time zone rules, so you never have to work out whether London or New York has changed its clocks. When a change is coming, the app warns you a few days ahead and shows exactly how your session times will move. Key Features: • Live Sessions: See which markets are open right now, with a countdown to every open and close. • Today Timeline: Your whole trading day at a glance, with the London–New York overlap, the busiest hours of the forex day, highlighted. • NYSE Opening Bell: A dedicated countdown and optional alert for the 9:30 AM New York open, when volume often picks up, even in crypto. • Daylight Saving Heads-Up: A warning before London, New York or Sydney change their clocks, with your new session times. • Weekends and Holidays: Follows the forex week (Sunday 5 PM to Friday 5 PM New York time) and the official NYSE holiday calendar, including early closes. • Alerts: Get notified when the sessions you follow open, never on weekends. • Widgets: Live countdowns and session progress on your Home Screen. • Your Way: Choose your sessions, pick light or dark mode, and see times in your 12- or 24-hour format. • Made for iPhone and iPad. Download Trading Sessions and take control of your trading day.
