What counts as a trading day?

A trading day is any CME trading session in which you close at least one trade on your account.

When does a session start and end?

Winbance follows the CME futures session, based on Chicago time (CT):

	Chicago (CT)	Spain (CET)	UTC
Session opens	17:00	00:00	23:00
Session closes (next day)	16:00	23:00	22:00

The session that opens on Sunday at 17:00 CT counts as Monday's trading day. Times in Spain and UTC change by one hour when daylight saving time changes in the US or in Europe.
