Spot Forex: 24-Hour Access to the World
When you trade currencies, you’re choosing greater trading freedom. Because you can trade forex 24 hours a day, 5.5 days a week with extreme liquidity, you trade when you want to, not when the market dictates.
The market is open 24 hours a day, 5.5 days a week, because trading begins with the open in Australia, continuing through the open and close of the major financial centers in Asia, Europe, the United States and back to Australia.
The daily currency trading volume is determined by which markets are open at that point in time. When multiple markets are open at the same time, such as the hours when the U.S. and U.K. market are both open, greater trading volume is seen, resulting in peak trading and the greatest liquidity.
