Forex trading schedule for the New Year 2014.

New Year's is also a time of major holidays in Forex. However, this doesn't mean that the currency exchange will completely shut down and trading will cease. There will simply be changes to the way most dealing centers operate.

The Forex trading schedule for the New Year 2014 is as follows: the weekend will begin on December 28th, as this date falls on a Saturday. Therefore, traders are advised to close all existing trades by the evening of Friday, December 27th.

On Monday, December 30th, the market will reopen and continue trading through December 31st. January 1st, 2014, is a Forex holiday.

Each broker may have its own specific financial and technical support requirements, which should be taken into account to avoid any problems.

December 27, 2013 – Most dealing centers stop accepting withdrawal requests, so it's best to withdraw funds on the 25th or 26th. Financial services' New Year's holidays extend until, at best, January 8, 2014, or, at worst, January 12.

January 30 – Trading continues as usual, but profit withdrawals are unlikely. Low liquidity may occur, meaning a sharp increase in floating spreads.

January 31 – Forex trading is open, but liquidity issues are only exacerbated.

January 1, 2014 – New Year's Day on Forex, all trading platforms are closed.

January 2 is a business day.

Trading during the New Year's holidays has its own peculiarities and is quite risky. At this time, you may not receive a response from technical support or may have to wait a very long time for your funds to be transferred. Therefore, it is better to devote this time to rest and refrain from bargaining; at worst, complete all money transfers in advance.
