⚠ 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 01:00 GST. 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 01:00 GST 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 16:00, 17:00, 18:00 GST; the most expensive were around 23:00, 00:00 GST (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 GST with current daylight rules; figures refresh on a schedule.
A clock that belongs to the server
Session boundaries, the daily break and the financing moment are defined by the server day. Converting them into local time is a convenience for the reader, but the underlying schedule is not local.
That distinction explains most surprises about when a charge appeared.
Checking it against your own account
Nothing here needs to be taken on trust. Add the spread column to market watch, keep the journal open and export the account history: your own terminal produces the same three quantities — quote, fill and commission — that any measurement is built from.
If your readings differ consistently, the difference itself is informative: account type, connection distance and the hours you trade all move the result.
What a measurement cannot tell you
A recorded spread is not a guarantee of the next fill, and a median is not a floor. Measurement narrows uncertainty; it does not remove it, and no amount of sampling turns a variable cost into a fixed one.
Used honestly, the numbers set expectations and catch surprises — that is their job, and it is enough.
