This article will explain the trading session schedule.

Updated this week

At Top One Futures, it’s essential to understand the trading hours and automatic close out policy to trade responsibly and within platform rules.

When Can I Trade Futures?
You can place trades between 6:00 PM EST and 4:00 PM EST the next day, Monday through Friday.

There is a daily 1-hour break from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM EST, during which trading is paused. After the break, the next session opens.

For example:

  • The Monday session begins at 6:00 PM EST on Sunday and ends at 4:00 PM EST on Monday.

  • The Tuesday session begins at 6:00 PM EST on Monday, and so on.

  • The final session of the week ends at 4:00 PM EST on Friday. Markets reopen Sunday at 6:00 PM EST.


Are Trades Automatically Closed at 4:00 PM EST?
Yes. All open trades are automatically closed by 4:00 PM EST every trading day. This is part of Top One Futures’ strict risk management rules.

If a trader does not manually close their positions before 4:00 PM EST, the system will forcibly liquidate all open positions at that time.


Can I Keep Trading After 4:00 PM EST?
No. From 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM EST, trading is paused. You can resume trading when the next session opens at 6:00 PM EST.


Why Does This Rule Exist?
By enforcing the automatic close out of trades at 4:00 PM EST, Top One Futures helps traders avoid overnight risk and maintain discipline.
This rule supports safe, intraday trading practices and protects both the trader and the firm from unexpected market volatility.
