What you can trade and when: Understanding Exness trading hours in Jordan

Trading at the wrong time can cost you—literally. Whether you're catching the Tokyo open or riding the London-New York overlap, market hours control the three things that matter most: liquidity, volatility, and spreads. Master the timing, master the trade.

Exness publishes trading hours for almost every CFD we offer, pinned to UTC+0, which for Jordan corresponds to UTC+3 under Arabia Standard Time (AST). The Exness trading hours refer to the open and close times for each CFD market offered, including forex (24/5), metals, energies, and indices trading. Each market has its own rhythm. Understanding these trading hours in Jordan time can help you align your strategy with actual market activity during your waking hours, choose the right time to trade, avoid unexpected breaks, and plan for important global sessions or holidays.

We follow US Daylight Saving Time (DST) for most instruments, meaning that open and close times shift slightly between Summer (09 March - 02 November) and Winter (02 November - 09 March). Most markets are open five days a week with short maintenance breaks.

We believe that convenience starts with clarity. That’s why we display accurate, real-time hours for every instrument, helping you trade with confidence and precision.

Forex CFD trading hours in Jordan (24/5)

Forex CFD trading at Exness for traders in Jordan runs nearly nonstop from early Monday morning to late Friday night (AST), giving you round-the-clock access to global currency markets, 24 hours a day, five days a week.

When markets open and close

In Jordan time (AST), forex markets open shortly after midnight on Monday and close late on Friday night. During summer months (DST), forex trading begins at 00:05 AST on Monday and closes at 23:59 AST on Friday. In winter, these times shift by one hour: markets open at 01:05 AST on Monday and close at 00:59 AST early Saturday.

Day vs night trading windows

We classify trading into day (10:00 – 23:59 AST summer / 11:00 – 00:59 AST winter) and night (00:00 – 09:50 AST summer / 01:00 – 10:59 AST winter) periods. These aren't just labels; they affect your trading conditions. Maximum and minimum lot sizes differ between day and night windows, with day hours typically offering higher liquidity as major financial centers are active. Night hours can be quieter, but work well for range-trading strategies or carry trades with adjusted position sizing. Check each CFD instrument's specifications (including day/night trading hours) in the Exness Help Center for exact lot size limits.

The golden window: London-New York overlap in Jordan

The 15:00 – 19:00 AST window is when both London and New York markets are active simultaneously, and it's typically when forex liquidity peaks and spreads tighten. If you can only trade during one four-hour window each day, this is it.

Most forex pairs trade continuously throughout the week. A few exceptions include exotic pairs like USDCNH and USDTHB, which open slightly later on Sundays, and Israeli shekel pairs (USDILS, GBPILS), which pause daily between 18:00 – 08:00 AST in summer or 19:00 – 09:00 AST in winter.

While forex offers continuous 24/5 trading, other instruments follow different trading hours based on their underlying markets.

Metals, energies, and indices trading hours in Jordan

Spreads may fluctuate and widen due to factors including market volatility, news releases, economic events, when markets open or close, and the type of instruments being traded.

Metals 

Gold and silver trade almost continuously during Exness trading hours in Jordan throughout the week, with predictable daily breaks for system resets. In contrast, base metals like copper (XCU) or nickel (XNI) follow exchange-style sessions.

Energies

Oil and gas follow US exchange times with short daily breaks around 00:00 – 02:00 AST, depending on DST.

Indices

Indices follow their local exchange: European indices (DE30, FR40, UK100) open and close earlier in the Jordan trading day, while US indices (US30, US500, USTEC) align with Wall Street hours.

How holidays affect trading hours in Jordan

Market holidays can temporarily change or shorten trading hours for certain instruments. Christmas and New Year's Day see most exchanges close or operate shorter sessions, which may affect instruments available to traders in Jordan, while US Independence Day and Thanksgiving mainly affect US indices and energies. Regional holidays in Asia or Europe similarly impact local indices and metals linked to those markets.

At Exness, we prioritize transparency. You'll always find an updated list of affected instruments and revised session times in our holiday trading hours guide, with clear labels for close-only, quote-only, or maintenance modes. Learn how to plan your trades during holidays to avoid unexpected position closures or missed trading opportunities.

Why trading hours matter for your strategy

Why do some traders consistently find better entries while others struggle? Timing. Understanding Exness trading hours in Jordan is a key part of developing a strategic trading approach. 

Here's how:

Maximize liquidity and minimize cost

It can be beneficial to trade during active hours, especially overlapping sessions like London-New York, since markets have a tendency to present higher volumes and tighter spreads - it’s always recommended to apply diligence and make your own decisions. Additionally, it can help avoid thin markets during rollover or daily breaks to reduce slippage; that is, very niche instruments at odd hours may offer less, if any, options to complete an order.

Time your trades around volatility

News releases, central bank updates, and earnings reports often occur at predictable times. Knowing when your instruments are active allows you to position yourself before volatility spikes and avoid unwanted gaps.

Manage weekend risk

Forex, indices, and metals markets close on weekends, meaning open positions may gap when markets reopen on Sunday in Jordan time (AST).

Plan around rollovers

The rollover period, during which open trades are extended into the next trading day, occurs around 00:00 AST (summer time) and 01:00 AST (winter time). Liquidity can drop, and spreads may widen temporarily during this window. Consider closing day trades before rollover or waiting until it passes to enter new positions. We publish these rollover times so you can plan accordingly.

Use day and night periods strategically

Exness trading hours include day and night trading periods (detailed in the forex section above), which help traders in Jordan anticipate when conditions change. Day hours typically bring more liquidity, while night hours work better for range or carry strategies.
