PAYDAY Account Weekend and Overnight Trading
Weekend and overnight trading is allowed on PAYDAY Accounts.
As long as the trader is still within the active 8 hour trading window and the selected market is available on the trading platform, the trader may continue trading.
Can I Hold Trades Overnight?
Yes.
PAYDAY Accounts allow overnight trading.
This means traders are not required to close their trades before the end of the trading day, provided the account is still within the 8 hour trading window and all PAYDAY Account rules are followed.
Can I Trade During the Weekend?
Yes.
Weekend trading is allowed on PAYDAY Accounts if the selected market is available.
While many traditional markets, such as Forex, indices, and metals, may close over the weekend, crypto markets may remain available after FX markets close.
This allows traders to continue trading available crypto instruments during their active PAYDAY Account window.
The 8 Hour Window Still Applies
The PAYDAY Account’s 8 hour timeframe always applies.
The timer starts immediately from the moment the account is purchased.
This means weekend and overnight trading are only available while the trader is still within the active 8 hour trading window.
For example, if a trader purchases a PAYDAY Account on Friday evening and FX markets close shortly after, they may still be able to trade available crypto instruments, provided they are still within their 8 hour window.
We Recommend Checking Market Availability Before Purchase
Traders are allowed to purchase a PAYDAY Account at any time.
However, we recommend checking whether the markets they want to trade are open before purchasing.
Since the 8 hour timer starts immediately after purchase, buying the account while the preferred market is closed may reduce the available trading opportunity.
For example:
Preferred Market | Recommendation |
Forex | Consider purchasing when FX markets are open |
Indices | Consider purchasing when the selected index market is open |
Metals | Consider purchasing when metals are available |
Crypto | May be available outside regular FX market hours |
This is only a recommendation. Traders are responsible for deciding when to purchase and trade their PAYDAY Account.
Crypto Trading After FX Markets Close
Crypto trading may be available after FX markets close.
If a trader is within their 8 hour PAYDAY Account window and crypto instruments are available on the platform, they may trade crypto.
Crypto trading remains subject to all PAYDAY Account rules, including the trailing max loss limit, leverage limits, and one trade at a time rule.
Overnight and Weekend Risk
Although overnight and weekend trading are allowed, traders should be aware that market conditions can change quickly.
Spreads, volatility, liquidity, and price gaps may be different during certain market sessions or outside regular market hours.
These conditions may increase the risk of reaching the trailing max loss limit.
Traders are responsible for monitoring their account and managing their positions carefully.
