Adjustment to Trading Hours for Daylight Saving Time
Posted at 05 March 2026 / Categories FirewoodFX Company News
Dear Traders,
Please be advised that with the start of Daylight Saving Time (DST) in major financial centers, the market opening and closing hours for certain instruments will be adjusted. This change reflects the shift from Standard Time (Winter) to Summer Time.
Effective March 08, 2026, the updated trading schedule (in Greenwich Mean Time - GMT) will be as follows:
Instrument Trading Hours (GMT)
Forex Currencies Opens 21:00 on Sunday – Closes 21:55 on Friday
Metals Opens 22:01 on Sunday – Closes 21:00 on Friday
Energies Opens 22:05 on Sunday – Closes 21:00 on Friday
Indices Opens 22:05 on Sunday – Closes 21:00 on Friday
Cryptocurrencies No changes (24/7 trading)
Please note: These hours reflect the new Summer schedule. Compared to the previous Winter schedule, markets will now open one hour earlier in GMT terms.
This seasonal adjustment will apply to all trading accounts on the FirewoodFX platform.
Please be assured that this routine change will not affect your existing positions or your ability to place, modify, or close orders.
We recommend updating your trading plans and schedules accordingly to reflect these updated hours.
Kind Regards,
FirewoodFX Team
