Flexiblefxtrade Financial Markets Trading Hours

One major benefit of Crypto, indices and commodities trading is they all trade nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. That is from 5 PM New York on Sunday through to 5 PM New York on Friday, and almost every week day of the year. That’s a lot of trading and opportunities!

Trading hours can also be viewed below or from within the MetaTrader and TraderEvolution trading platforms.

TradingView Platform

A 5 daily candle week for all clients

The GMT offset is either +2 or +3 depending on whether Daylight savings time is in effect or not.

Markets Open

When the liquidity providers pricing into Flexiblefxtrade switch online (Monday session start) and switch offline (Friday session end) the spreads can be wider as the liquidity providers reset and liquidity is low.

To ensure our clients positions are not stopped out by the widened spread, we commence pricing on Monday 2 minutes after the market open and close pricing on Friday 3 minutes before market close.

Daily Trading Break

There is a daily 2 minute break in trading from 23:59-00:01 platform time. Clients are able to see the prices streaming during this break. No orders can be placed and pre-existing orders cannot be executed during this time.

This is to safeguard from positions with a Stop Loss getting hit by the potential spread spike that can occur over rollover when Liquidity Providers reset their pricing for the new trading day at 00:00 platform time.

Your questions, answered.

What does ECN mean? Right Arrow

Electronic Communications Networks or ‘ECNs’ are off-exchange execution venues which allow market participants to trade with a range of counterparties anonymously. They are the main trading venues for OTC markets such as Foreign Exchange and Metals.

This basically means ECNs provide the technology and venue for price makers aka ‘liquidity providers’ to distribute their liquidity. Price takers (traders) can see these prices and execute trades against them. The ECN is therefore responsible for prices/quotes and the execution of orders.

See our ECN page for a detailed overview of the Flexiblefxtrade ECN offering.

What GMT offset are our charts set to? Right Arrow

What are the underlying market hours for Crypto? Right Arrow

Trading Hours - The foreign exchange market trades 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. This is from 5pm New York (ET) on Sunday through to 5pm New York on Friday. Flexiblefxtrade quotes on most Crypto pairs from the open on Sunday through to the close on Friday. The daily break time of Crypto is 23:59-00:02 server time.

Is trading out of market hours more risky? Right Arrow

Trading outside of market hours generally results in high spreads and increased volatility. This is primarily due to there being less liquidity available in the market during these times. Further, in the case of indices or commodity futures, these products are priced as fair value estimates of the futures underlying markets. Accordingly, after the underlying market closes, LP’s have to formulate a price that represents where the underlying market would be if it was still operating. During these times, there is nowhere for LP’s to hedge their exposure so to account for the increased risk, they must increase spreads to offset their exposure.

Generally speaking, times that involve increased spreads and scarce liquidity are indicative of a more volatile trading environment that carries an increased risk level.
