Questions

›What time does the London session open in Japan?

At 17:00 JST today (12 November 2026). In winter it opens at 17:00, in summer at 16:00.

›Why does the time change during the year?

Japan keeps one offset all year; the UK moves its clocks in spring and autumn, so the session shifts by an hour in Japan.

›Is my broker’s server time the same?

No. MetaTrader shows the broker’s server clock, often New York + 7 hours. The session times here are the real centre hours in your local time.
