Forex market hours in EET / EEST
Every session time on this page is shown in Eastern European Time (UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer). The clock reads the same IANA timezone data your operating system uses, so it stays right through every daylight saving change without anybody editing a table.

Candle close and rollover
Triple swap tonight. The close that ends the Wednesday session carries three days of swap, because the spot value date rolls over the weekend. A position you would happily hold through any other rollover costs — or pays — three times as much through this one.
The market is shut for the weekend, so no candle is forming. Trading resumes in —.
Anchored to 17:00 New York, which is where the daily forex candle closes and where swap is charged. Your broker's own daily bar matches this only if their server runs on a timezone whose midnight lands on that moment — the usual case, and the reason most MT5 charts show five daily candles a week rather than six.
The clock needs JavaScript and runs entirely in this tab. Your timezone is read from the browser with the standard internationalisation API — nothing is sent anywhere.
What EET / EEST is, and what it does to your session times
EET (UTC+2) and EEST (UTC+3) matter more than their geography suggests: this is the timezone most MT4 and MT5 brokers run their servers on, so it is the clock your chart timestamps are already in.
Because the offset changes twice a year, and the sessions change on their own schedules, the same session can appear at three different local times across a year. The table below shows the two stable states.
