MetaTrader Open Time and Close time by Brokers

In this article, we will do one research. I will visit top forex broker websites and look for information about trading servers. My goal in this research is to figure out when trading assets will be enabled for trading. While stocks can be traded only several hours per day, the forex trading market is open for a trading whole working week from Monday to Friday. However, you will see that each broker has different working times.

This research is essential because if you want to close your trade before the weekend, you need precisely when the closing time is. Additionally, if you know some important news from the weekend that can impact trading price, you may need to open a trade just after the market opens when your broker allows you to do it.

Research results are presented in the Table below:

In the Table below are presented opening and closing times for the MetaTrader platform for various brokers:
