You don’t have to worry about missing a trading opportunity
In the case of forex trading, unlike the stock market, there is no specific exchange, so there is no set trading time, allowing traders and brokers around the world to trade online 24 hours a day. Apart from certain maintenance hours and weekends, trading is nearly always possible, so there’s no need to worry about missing trading opportunities.
There are times when the market is active and has specific characteristics depending on the time of day, so deepening your knowledge further can enable you to trade advantageously. Furthermore, trading hours change due to daylight saving time and standard time. Our company adopts New York time, so it’s important to understand that there are both daylight saving time and standard time in the United States.
