FAQ

What are German (XETRA) trading hours, and how do they map to UTC?⌄
The XETRA electronic system’s regular continuous session runs 09:00–17:30 Frankfurt time. Germany uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2): in summer the session is 07:00–15:30 UTC, and in winter it is 08:00–16:30 UTC.
What is the DAX index, and where does it trade?⌄
The DAX (Deutscher Aktienindex) is Germany’s flagship blue-chip index, made up of 40 large companies listed in Frankfurt (expanded from 30 to 40 in 2021), such as SAP, Siemens and Allianz. DAX constituents trade mainly on the XETRA electronic platform, on the same 09:00–17:30 local schedule.
Are XETRA and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange floor the same thing?⌄
XETRA is the fully electronic platform operated by Deutsche Börse and handles the vast majority of German equity volume; the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Börse Frankfurt) also has traditional floor trading. Our data, like most market data, uses the XETRA 09:00–17:30 electronic session.
How do I download historical German market data?⌄
We source daily data for major German XETRA names via Yahoo Finance, no API key required. German tickers use the .DE suffix (e.g. SAP.DE, Siemens SIE.DE), quoted in euros.
