Trading on the stock exchange on weekends, or how to check if an asset is available for trading
Not all traders and investors have the opportunity to trade on stock exchanges on a weekday, since they are busy at this time with their main job.
Therefore, people often wonder whether it is possible to trade on weekends or holidays and how to take advantage of this opportunity?
In modern realities, there are several options, thanks to which exchange trading has become available almost 24/7, that is, at any time.
At the same time, there are certain nuances, only taking into account which you can earn at a time convenient for you.
To find the assets that are currently being traded, simply switch to the "Trading" tab in the market overview window in the MetaTrader 5 trading platform .
You'll immediately see which assets are available for opening trades, and you can choose the one you need for trading.
The trading tab also allows you to check asset availability not only on weekends but also at any other time, as many assets have their own trading schedule.
In some cases, to display all assets, you must first add the desired assets in the Market Overview window on the "Symbols" tab, or simply select the function - Show All.
It's clear that on weekends, in most cases, only cryptocurrency trades are available, but there are exceptions to this rule. Be sure to check this on your MT5 trading platform.
There are also brokers that allow currency pair , but this trading occurs within the brokerage company, and the broker itself is often the counterparty to the trades. This approach leads to a conflict of interest, so it is not recommended.
