Session scoreboard
symbols won per UTC session, 7-day averages| Session | Hours | LMAXEU-DemoUK wins | LMAXNZ-DemoUK wins | Ties | Session winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asia | 00–07 UTC | 0 | 1 | 43 | LMAXNZ-DemoUK |
| London | 07–13 UTC | 0 | 0 | 43 | tie |

| New York | 17–21 UTC | 0 | 0 | 43 | tie |

The session split is the part most comparisons skip — and the part that matters for EAs. A broker that wins the London session can lose badly during Asian hours or around rollover, when spreads widen unevenly.
