The forex market have any holidays

[Elmira Nancy]

Since many holidays are specific to a particular nation, and since FOREX is global, what you could see on holidays is low volume/ high volatility; the nation experiencing the holiday could be taking a break, but other nations not taking that holiday would be trading its currency.

An example of this is thanksgiving or the Japanese new year (which occurs after the first week of January). In the former case, American traders might not be trading, but others would be. And so on, in the latter case.

I do not know of any global holiday that would cause everyone around the world not to trade; except Saturday's.

Yes, there is no global holidays but in Forex. But the markets are usually very flat on many important holidays and the brokers usually also set elevated spreads during Christmas/New Year period.

Well,

I wish all a happy thanks giving day and a BIG THANKS for being there in the forum.

About holidays in forex... we dont need it as we can trade anywhere, anytime and as much as want!!!

It is nice to give it a rest during holidays. If the market didn't go flat once in a while we would never leave our house and computer! LOL!

[Sofia]

yea! its good but what about the Dubai crisis that came up now during the Asian holidays?

[Chunnel]

Indeed there aren't anny fore holydays, however as mentioned earlier during christmass and new year there isn't allot of vollatility.

Annyway the great thing about fore is that you can shut down your trades whenever you want and take a holyday.
