Different markets keep different hours, and TrendTrader Pro tells you clearly when one is asleep.
When each asset class trades
Crypto — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Never closed.
Forex — around the clock Monday through Friday; closed over the weekend (roughly Friday 5 PM to Sunday 5 PM New York time).
Stocks and ETFs — follow their exchange's session (for US markets, 9:30 AM–4:00 PM Eastern, Monday–Friday, excluding market holidays).
Indices — follow their home exchange or futures sessions; most major indices update throughout the trading week.
Commodities — follow their exchange sessions, most trading nearly around the clock on weekdays.
All times inside the app are handled automatically — you don't need to convert anything.
The "Market closed" indicator
When a market's session is closed, the intraday signal feed shows a calm Market closed row with a moon icon instead of a signal. This is expected and normal — it means there's nothing to scan right now, not that anything is wrong.
You may also see No intraday data for a market that is open but hasn't produced intraday data yet; that's a different state and usually resolves on its own within a few minutes.
What still works while a market is closed
The chart stays fully interactive when a market is closed:
Browse full price history on any timeframe.
Pan, zoom, and use the crosshair normally.
Review the signal markers — the current one and the dimmed history.
Two things change while a session is closed:
No new candles form, so live price movement pauses until the next session opens.
The candle-close countdown hides, since there is no forming candle to count down.
Both return automatically the moment the market reopens — no refresh needed.
Daily signals and closed markets
Daily signals are produced by a once-per-day scan, so weekend market closures don't interrupt them: your most recent daily signal stays visible and valid until the next scan produces an update.
