Can I hold positions over the weekend and major holidays?

Yes, you can hold positions during the weekend and/or during major holidays, but the 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 major events occur during the market closure.

Can I place trades via e-mail or phone?

All trades must be placed directly on your MT4 platform during market opening hours.

How are forex currency prices calculated?

Exchange rates are determined by basic supply and demand factors, including interest rates, economic growth, inflation, and major events like war or political change.
