United States will fall back by one hour while Europe will do the opposite and push forward by one hour.

Oh so its last Sunday of March! I always thought it was first week of March

I always set my trading platform time zone to match the current time in London cos I trade mostly during the London session. At the moment London time is UTC so my TradingView time zone is also set to UTC. However, when DST starts London will change their time zone to UTC+1 so i will also do the same.

Daylight savings has officially started for the year 2026, so trading sessions will open one hour earlier than they used to

Yes, I almost missed it today @yokoyi. But may I ask, will the trading platforms adjust the date for DST automatically?

I use cTrader and TradingView and they both adjusted the time zone for DST automatically. For MetaTrader it doesn't adjust for some brokers.
