Forex killzone times in your time zone
The London, New York, Asia and Silver Bullet windows, converted to your clock for any trading day. Killzones are set in New York time, so they move for everyone else whenever New York or your own zone changes its clocks.
US clocks go back on Sunday 1 November 2026. From Monday 2 November every killzone is one hour later in UTC. In the UK, clocks went back on 25 October, so until 1 November London is only four hours ahead of New York instead of five.

A forex trading day runs from 17:00 New York the evening before, so Asia comes first. "Day before" and "next day" are relative to the day of the London killzone in your zone.
Clock changes coming up
Killzone times in New York, UTC and Brisbane (AEST)
New York time never changes. UTC and Australian times shift by an hour when New York changes its clocks. Brisbane has no daylight saving, so it only moves with New York. Sydney and Melbourne also change their own clocks, so use the converter above for them.
| Killzone | New York | UTC, until 1 Nov (EDT) | UTC, from 2 Nov (EST) | Brisbane, until 1 Nov | Brisbane, from 2 Nov |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asia | 20:00 (day before)–00:00 | 00:00–04:00 | 01:00–05:00 | 10:00–14:00 | 11:00–15:00 |
| London | 02:00–05:00 | 06:00–09:00 | 07:00–10:00 | 16:00–19:00 | 17:00–20:00 |
| Silver Bullet, London | 03:00–04:00 | 07:00–08:00 | 08:00–09:00 | 17:00–18:00 | 18:00–19:00 |
| New York AM | 07:00–10:00 | 11:00–14:00 | 12:00–15:00 | 21:00–00:00 (next day) | 22:00–01:00 (next day) |
| Silver Bullet, New York AM | 10:00–11:00 | 14:00–15:00 | 15:00–16:00 | 00:00–01:00 (next day) | 01:00–02:00 (next day) |
| New York PM | 13:30–16:00 | 17:30–20:00 | 18:30–21:00 | 03:30–06:00 (next day) | 04:30–07:00 (next day) |
| Silver Bullet, New York PM | 14:00–15:00 | 18:00–19:00 | 19:00–20:00 | 04:00–05:00 (next day) | 05:00–06:00 (next day) |
Worked for the trading days of Tuesday 27 October 2026 (New York on EDT) and Tuesday 3 November 2026 (EST). In March, when US clocks go forward, the change runs the other way.
What killzones are, and why the times matter
Killzones are ICT-style session windows: the hours when a market's main participants are most active, so liquidity is taken and price tends to move with intent. Traders who use them only look for setups inside the windows and sit out the rest of the day.
Educators define the windows slightly differently. The times on this page are the ones FX Battlefield draws on its replay charts, so what you practise is what you see here. The three Silver Bullet hours are narrower windows inside or next to the main sessions.
Getting the time wrong by an hour is the classic daylight-saving mistake: a trader in Sydney, London or Dubai keeps watching the same local hour after New York has moved, and trades the hour after the window. The converter above follows both clocks, New York's and yours.
Practise inside the windows
Rules that check the time
Add "only inside a killzone" to your trading model, and every order you place in replay is checked against it before you click.
A Silver Bullet model, ready made
Start from the built-in Silver Bullet template, trade the three hours in replay, and see your results on-model and off-model before you trade it live.
Questions
What time is the London killzone?
02:00 to 05:00 New York time: 06:00 to 09:00 UTC while New York is on EDT, and 07:00 to 10:00 UTC on EST.
What time is the New York killzone?
The New York AM killzone is 07:00 to 10:00 New York time, and the PM session 13:30 to 16:00.
What are the Silver Bullet hours?
03:00 to 04:00, 10:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 15:00 New York time.
Why does my local time change twice a year, or four times?
Your local killzone times change whenever New York changes its clocks (March and November) and whenever your own zone does. For the UK and Europe the dates are a week or more apart, so for a few weeks each year the gap to New York is an hour shorter. In Sydney and Melbourne the clocks change in April and October, opposite to New York, so the local times move four times a year. Brisbane and Perth have no daylight saving, so they only move with New York.
Is FX Battlefield affiliated with ICT?
No. "ICT-style" describes the concepts. The definitions here are FX Battlefield's own, and nothing on this site is financial advice.
