The three things to check first
- Status: Open / Closed / Lunch break / Holiday.
- Countdown: Time until open or close in your local time.
- Next exception: Upcoming holiday or early close.
Common mistakes this prevents
- Placing orders during a lunch break on split-session markets.
- Forgetting that some markets trade Sunday–Thursday.
- Getting caught by daylight saving shifts when you trade across regions.
A simple workflow
- Start on Home: scan major markets and overlaps.
- Open the exchange page you care about: confirm the session timetable.
- Check holidays: if a market is closed today, don't over-interpret price action elsewhere.
