Orbex to Set GMT+3 Server Time From 10 March 2024, Lists Session Changes
Orbex said its server time will move to GMT+3 on 10 March 2024 and that some instruments will open and close one hour earlier from 10 to 31 March. Its table shows one-hour clock-time shifts for certain commodities, UK and EU shares and selected indices, with AUS200 retaining the adjusted window after 31 March.

Orbex announced on 7 March 2024 that its server time will change to GMT+3 on 10 March. The notice labels the pre-change schedule GMT+2. It says that between 10 and 31 March some traded instruments will open and close one hour earlier than usual, and that after 31 March the usual trading schedule will apply on all instruments. The table's after-31-March column is also headed GMT+3. The notice says the affected instruments will open and close one hour earlier; the table shows several affected sessions one hour later in the GMT+3 column than in the GMT+2 column.
Sessions shown with changed clock times
All times below are server time as stated in the table. For Monday-to-Friday sessions, COFFEE moves from 11:15–20:30 to 12:15–20:30, USCOCOA from 11:45–20:30 to 12:45–20:30, and COTTON from 04:00–21:20 to 05:00–21:20. UK Shares and EU Shares move from 10:02–14:00 and 14:03–18:30 to 11:02–15:00 and 15:03–19:30. ESP35 moves from 09:00–20:59 to 10:00–21:59; EUSTX50 from 02:15–22:59 to 03:15–23:59; HK50 from 03:15–06:00, 07:00–10:30 and 11:15–21:00 to 04:15–07:00, 08:00–11:30 and 12:15–22:00; and AUS200 from 00:50–07:30 and 08:10–22:59 to 01:50–08:30 and 09:10–22:59. DE40's Monday-Thursday session moves from 02:02–23:59 to 03:02–23:59, with Friday close unchanged at 23:12.
Resumption and AUS200 exception
The notice says the usual trading schedule will apply on all instruments after 31 March. The table returns COFFEE, USCOCOA, COTTON, UK Shares, EU Shares, ESP35, EUSTX50, DE40 and HK50 to their pre-10-March clock times in the after-31-March column, which remains labelled GMT+3. For AUS200, however, the after-31-March column repeats the 10–31 March window of 01:50–08:30 and 09:10–22:59 rather than the pre-change 00:50–07:30 and 08:10–22:59; the announcement does not reconcile that difference. The table also shows unchanged server-time windows across all three columns for FX, metals, USOIL, UKOIL, NG, US Shares, US30, SPX 500/US500, NAS100/UT100, UK100, FRA40, GER40, JP225 and cryptocurrencies.
