Large trading rooms typically have a row of clocks on the wall, showing the current time in various locations around the world. You probably don’t have a wall full of clocks in the room where you trade. But, you can have all of the same info, just a click away, on your computer.
There are lots of “personal clocks” available on the internet. Some are free, some are not. Here’s the one I like —
This “personal clock” is from timeanddate.com, which (as I’ve said often on this forum) is my favorite website for accurate time, time-zone, and time-conversion information. They offer a Java applet version, and a non-Java version (both free). The Java version is superior, because it boots fast, and it saves your settings and configurations when you turn your computer off.
Here’s where you can get this Clock — timeanddate.com. On their homepage, find the sub-menu called Current Time. Click on Personal World Clock, and follow the prompts. You can configure your clock in almost any way, to suit yourself. Don’t forget to hit Save when you’ve completed your configuration. Then you can Bookmark your Personal World Clock, and never be more than a click away from the date and time info you need.
If you have a favorite clock app, to assist you in your trading, share it here.
