When can I trade Crypto CFDs on FOREX.com?

Crypto CFDs will be available to trade continuously from Saturday at 8:00 AM UTC until Friday at 9:00 PM UTC. Trading will pause from Friday 9:00 PM UTC and resume the following Saturday at 8:00 AM UTC.

Are the trading hours guaranteed every weekend?

While we aim to keep trading hours consistent, there may be instances where Crypto markets open later or close earlier than scheduled. In such cases, FOREX.com will endeavour to provide advance notifications to minimize any disruption to your trading experience.

Can I fund my account over the weekend?

Yes, you can continue to fund your trading account over the weekend. However, we recommend using debit or credit card funding, as bank wire transfers may experience delays during weekend hours. We recommend that you maintain an adequate excess margin balance above your required margin. Maintaining low excess margin levels in your account may prohibit you from trading certain products or lead to undesired liquidations resulting from an adverse market move.

Why is card funding recommended over the weekend?

Card funding (debit/credit) is typically processed instantly, bank wire transfers are subject to banking hours and may not be processed until the next business day, potentially putting your open positions at risk.

What happens if I can’t fund my account during the weekend?

If your account is not sufficiently funded, you may risk the liquidation of your open Crypto positions. To avoid this, please ensure your account has adequate funds before the weekend, or use card funding to top up promptly when possible.

Will I be notified of changes to the Crypto trading schedule?

Yes, FOREX.com will endeavour to inform customers in advance of any changes to Crypto trading hours to help you plan and manage your positions effectively.
