US futures, in your own clock

CME runs on Chicago and New York time. Most of the people who trade it do not. Each page below turns the US session into one country’s local time, names the weeks a year when the gap to New York changes, and says who regulates a broker there and how futures gains are taxed. For contract sizes and tick values, see the markets; for this week’s scheduled releases, the market calendar.
