Basics of looking at trading hours
| subject | Points to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| FX currency pairs | Even if it's mainly on weekdays, check the maintenance and switchover times |
| Index/product | Trading hours and holiday periods vary depending on the stock |
| Cryptocurrency CFDs | Don't view it with the same mindset as regular FX trading |
Tips for checking in Japan Standard Time
- The appearance may change when switching between daylight saving time and standard time
- The schedule may differ from the usual schedule at the beginning of the week, on weekends, and on public holidays
- When economic indicators are released, it's reassuring to be aware not only of whether the market is open, but also of the actual trading environment
Products you should definitely check
- Index CFDs and commodity CFDs can sometimes have less predictable downtime than FX currency pairs
- Cryptocurrency CFDs may have different leverage conditions and time zones
