Hi,

so it seems - but I find it ridiculous...ok for closing earlyu on the 31 st for new years..but in tokyo and sydney its business as usual..I really don't find it to be very professional on their part..FX is a 24 hour business after all and them being one of the larger retail brokers' would warrant in my mind the capability of following market hours...

live and learn I guess

I find it more unprofessional and ridiculous that you would put money into the market and then not know when you would be able to trade. You need to take responsibility for your actions.

Crap! I just blew my first new year's resolution...be nice to FF people.

Always check with your broker for their holiday hours.

Well,


As I said..live and learn...but y'know...I was under the impression that machines did not need holidays...and that NDD execution implied no human intervention...I obviously stand corrected...(or maybe it's not as NDD as one would be led to believe - MBT was giving feeds throughout market hours) well as being convinced that businesses that are supposed to offer a trading service would in fact follow market hours....again I stand corrected.

Anycase I took my losses and am reanalysing the situation in order to get back in....

Most likely the reason most waited until 2 am to open is that Tokyo is closed today so they waited for the eur session to start with Frankfurt.

Hope things go better for you.

Here is to a great new year!
