Trading hours for forex pairs and CFDs
Please Note: You cannot open, modify, or close trades when the market is closed.
Trading forex and CFDs with Axi follows MT4 Server Time, which is Monday 00:01 to Friday 23:59.
MT4 Server Time is based at GMT+2 when New York observes Eastern Standard Time and moves to GMT+3 when New York observes Daylight Savings Time. For Non-US time zones, local daylight savings changes will affect the session times relative to MT4 server time.
You cannot open, modify, or close trades when the market is closed, but you can hold positions during the weekend and/or during major holidays. Please be aware that market opening or closing times may be altered due to a lack of liquidity or pricing updates. Traders with open positions over weekends should be aware that these positions are susceptible to additional risk when significant events occur during the market closure.
For a full list of trading hours for every position, please refer to our Product Schedule.
