Futures Trading Hours by Contract

Hours shift with daylight saving time. U.S. and European clocks change on different dates, which temporarily moves session times. Holiday schedules also shorten sessions. Confirm hours with the exchange, or call us — especially before holding positions into a holiday.

Pit vs. Electronic Sessions

Most volume today is electronic, but several contracts still list legacy pit hours alongside the electronic session. Electronic sessions typically open Sunday at 5–6 p.m. Central and run through Friday afternoon with a daily maintenance break. Clients can check live hours inside the quotes and charts platform.
