⚠ marks hours where the average measured spread runs at least twice the typical hour — the daily rollover window stands out immediately.

The rollover lands in the morning here

The daily rollover (swap posting, brief spread widening) happens at 00:00 server time — which is around 00:00 EAT. Positions carried through breakfast hours pay or earn the overnight swap, and tight stops around that time can be hit by the spread alone.

Swap multipliers measured from the server: Monday ×1, Tuesday ×1, Wednesday ×3, Thursday ×1, Friday ×1. The Wednesday triple swap posts at the daily rollover that follows — around 00:00 EAT the next morning.

Cheapest hours to trade (measured)

Ranked by movement per pip of spread on the measured feed, the best EUR/USD hours recently were around 15:00, 17:00, 16:00 EAT; the most expensive were around 22:00, 23:00 EAT (rollover).

How this was measured

  • Session times: the per-instrument quote-session table published by the MT5 server itself.
  • Hourly spreads: every captured quote, bucketed by server hour over the last 24h.
  • Swap multipliers: per-weekday swap factors read from the server.
  • Times converted to EAT with current daylight rules; figures refresh on a schedule.
