Sessions and events

# London session

The European trading window, roughly 08:00 to 16:30 UK time. It is the highest-volume session in forex, and the one where the euro and sterling pairs do most of their daily range.

GFN’s figure

GFN trading hours depend on the instrument and its liquidity, and the daily loss limit resets at the time shown in your dashboard - which may not align with your local session.

In detail

## London session, explained

London's opening hours overlap the end of the Asian session and the start of the New York one, which is why it carries the largest share of daily forex volume.

The first hour after the London open is the most active of the day for European pairs, and also the point at which overnight ranges are most often broken.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [New York session](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/new-york-session) - The US trading window, roughly 08:00 to 17:00 Eastern time. Most scheduled US data lands at its start, which makes the first ninety minutes the most volatile stretch of the trading day.
- [Asian session](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/asian-session) - The first major window of the trading day, centred on Tokyo and running roughly 00:00 to 09:00 UK time. Ranges are narrower and yen pairs and Australasian currencies are the most active.
- [Session overlap](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/session-overlap) - The hours when two trading sessions are open at once. The London-New York overlap, roughly 13:00 to 16:30 UK time, carries the highest volume and the tightest spreads of the day.
- [Market open](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/market-open) - The moment an instrument begins trading for a session. Opens concentrate order flow that built up while the market was closed, which is why volatility spikes and spreads take time to settle.
- [Rollover time](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/rollover-time) - The point in the day when positions are rolled to the next value date and swap is applied. It is also when many platforms reset daily statistics, and spreads often widen briefly around it.
