Indicative Yahoo Finance forex feed. High–low range is a volatility proxy, not tick-level realized volatility. Forex is decentralized; holidays, broker breaks and liquidity can differ from these session guides.
Hours tell you who is active. Range tells you how much moved.
The conventional forex week runs from Sunday 17:00 to Friday 17:00 in New York. Regional windows are activity guides, not guaranteed broker opening hours. London and New York use their own historical DST rules; their clocks change on different dates. The latest completed hour is excluded from its baseline, forming candles are excluded, and ratios require eight prior comparable observations. A larger range does not indicate direction or promise a profitable trade. Source timestamps remain visible during closures or feed delays.

Is forex open 24 hours a day?
The conventional trading week runs from Sunday 17:00 to Friday 17:00 in New York. The regional sessions describe activity, not a guarantee that every broker is open. Holidays and maintenance can differ.
Do London and New York change clocks together?
No. Each session uses its own historical timezone rules. During transition weeks their UTC hours and overlap can differ; this clock adjusts each region separately.
Does elevated volatility indicate a buying opportunity?
No. The ratio compares the latest closed hourly high–low range with earlier matching hours of the week. It indicates unusual activity, not direction, tick-level volatility or expected profitability.
