# What are the trading hours?

Explains market hours in a simulated environment.

Trading hours depend on the instrument and platform. FX, metals, commodities, indices, equities, and cryptocurrencies may have different market sessions, holidays, closures, or quote availability.

A trading day for rule calculation is not the same as market hours. For Finotive rule purposes, the Trading Day runs from 17:00:00 New York Time to 16:59:59 New York Time the following day.
