Most FX pair trading hours are 24 hours per day during the week, with a two minute break from 23:59 server time until 00:01 server time; on Friday trading ceases five minutes early at 23:55 server time, rather than 23:59, to prevent wide spreads as liquidity providers go offline at the end of the week. Trading hours are subject to change Due to seasonal and market factors.
Server time is set to GMT +3 while US daylight savings is in place, and GMT+2 when the US is not under daylight savings; this allows for the daily candle to close at the end of trading in New York each day. The New York close is widely considered the end of the trading day.
There are some exceptions to the usual rules for a few currencies and other assets which are outlined below:

Risks
Risks
The underlying crypto markets are open over the weekend. We don’t offer a separate ‘weekend symbol', so when you open a position, you’ll be doing so with the same symbol you trade with during the week. Your positions will continue to move over the weekend, and your stop losses and take profits can still be triggered. Your positions will continue to move over the weekend, and your stop losses and take profits can still be triggered. Stop losses, take profits and pending orders to open on all cryptocurrency positions (except Dash) can be triggered during our weekend trading times.
Please note
that weekend positions with attached stops/limits will not be netted off against existing weekday contracts. In this instance the weekend position will roll into a new weekday position, with the same stops/limits attached.
Similarly, weekend positions will not net off against existing weekday contracts if the weekday contracts have stops/limits attached. In this instance, weekend positions will be rolled into new weekday contracts.
If you have a position open on one of these cryptocurrency markets (except Dash), it will be affected by weekend trading.
This additional trading period during the weekend means not only do you have longer to speculate on the price of different coins, but also any stop losses and take profits you have attached can be filled on the weekend.
