What time do currency markets open?
I’ve been playing around with forex and made a BIG mistake on Friday by taking a buy position on the $/EUR market which then went the wrong way for me. Even more stupidly I forgot to set the stop loss triggers and by the end of trading on Friday I was down $1,500 on the position.
I want to close out the position as soon as possible on Monday but need to be in front of the computer when the market opens – which will presumably be in the Far East markets.
I’m in the UK so any answers in GMT would be very helpful indeed as otherwise I’m going to have to stare at the screen all night waiting for the market to open.
If it makes any difference I’m useing the MetaTrader 4 platform and my broker is Alpari UK,
Thanks for any help – I’m quickly going broke here!!
I think the earliest you can close your position will be on Sunday at 10:00 p.m. GMT. Because that’s when the forex market in Sydney, Australia will open.
