keep open positions over the weekend?

Hello all, I am very new to trading on the forex. I am using a demo account and this is the end of my 3rd week. I would like to know if its a good idea or not to keep your positions open over the weekend.

Thanks for you advice guys.

Actually this is an individual prefrence. There are things that may happen over the weekend that cause and Adverse affect on your trade when everything opens at the first of the week. If, I just doing a short term trade I usually take my profit early Friday and wait. I do three types of trades. My long term is just that and when it well into the money I just let it ride through the weekend and news. This all I can tell you. I not woory too much, but, as I say, we never know either. Some nut shoot a Missle off at Britian on Saturday and Sunday the GBP may drop like a rock!

hey thanks for the reply! I appreciate your insight. I suspect it will come with experience whether or not I will keep orders open over the weekend or not, as well as if I can afford to!

thanks.

I always keep mine... If I am on a roll, I am not going to jump out. Sundays are usually very slow... it usually does not make major jumps
