Daylight Saving Time / Standard Time — Changes Coming This Fall.
During the second half of 2009, countries around the world will go onto, or off of, daylight saving time on 14 different dates. Fortunately, we have to be concerned with only 4 of those dates:
September 27 — [B]New Zealand[/B] will go onto southern hemisphere daylight saving time
October 4 — southeastern [B]Australia[/B] (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, etc.) will go onto southern hemisphere DST
October 25 —[B] Europe and Great Britain[/B] will return to standard time
November 1 — [B]the U.S. and Canada[/B] will return to standard time
In Asia, the major forex players (Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong) and the minor players (Korea, Taiwan and China) all remain
on standard time year-round.
The next post on this thread will be a repeat of Post #1022 on the Win Ratio thread. It will show a table of times (in 12 time zones) for the London Breakout Strategy “overnight period”. The table will be current through the end of this week.
On Friday (9/25) of this week, I will edit the table to update it for the New Zealand changes occurring next Sunday (9/27).
Then, prior to the October 4, October 25 and November 1 change-over dates, I will edit the table three more times to update it
for changes occurring on those dates.

p.s. —[B] DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME FACTOIDS:[/B]
The South Pole observes daylight saving time, but most of Antarctica does not. During southern hemisphere summer,
the sun never sets at the South Pole, but they have daylight saving time. How nutty is that?!
Egypt observes daylight saving time from late April until late August. Why do they even bother?
