Trading Hours
Plan your Forex and CFD trading activities with confidence by staying updated on global market trading hours. Since financial markets operate across different regions, trading sessions vary depending on the country, asset class, and exchange schedule.
Understanding when markets open and close helps you identify optimal trading opportunities and manage your positions more effectively. Forex markets typically operate 24 hours a day, five days a week, allowing traders to participate across major sessions such as Asian, European, and North American markets. However, CFDs on indices, commodities, and shares follow specific exchange hours, which may differ depending on the underlying market.

Clear answers to common questions about Trading hours at Novixa Capital.
Review its MT5 Specification and the current trading-hours schedule. An underlying market's general opening time may differ from the broker's session for that contract.
Use the time zone stated on the schedule and check whether daylight-saving changes affect your local time. Do not assume MT5 server time matches UAE or your device time.
Order acceptance and execution depend on the order type and instrument rules. A request submitted outside a trading session may be rejected or wait for a permitted session.
Liquidity can be lower around session transitions and breaks. Prices may gap and execution conditions can change, so allow for the additional risk.
