Darn...Cancelled my evening Christmas Party to be back home to watch the market and realized there is No Trading!

I guess traders have to trade according to the Banks Schedule?

Hello Traders, thanks for sharing your views.


Indeed the market has opened, but the spread is kinda higher than usual.

Any traders know why the Spread are Higher than usual and also today's market open is it due to Japan market and southeast asia market?

It depends on whether your broker makes market data available on these days. However, assuming data is available, bank holidays will keep liquidity low and the data choppy and largely directionless for the early part of this week. I have only seen one decent trade today at 40 pips net but apart from that, it's been pretty uneventful with mostly wide spreads and choppy data.
The road to pipland is arduous and fraught with challenge.

I think what it means is that now in the wake of MF Global "We can just do whatever we want."

Got the usual email Friday saying market would open again on Sunday at 6:00 - the usual time. Now its 11:15 and still no sign of opening. When I called (InterbankFX) got the expected message saying I should call back during regular business hours. But this IS regular business hours. They might at least leave a message with an explanation.

This is the end of everything America stands for. It's becoming more and more prevalent, and recently the scale seems to have tipped: acquisitive types who manage to get themselves placed highly but have no idea what to do when they get there, even if they wanted to. They have become the rule rather than the exception.

So much for American Exceptionalism, whatever that means. I think they invented it - in this case to describe something that is particularly reprehensible. No entity can operate effectively if everything is perceived to be the opposite of what it actually is. Maybe the dissemblers will win, but not in the long run, I hope and trust.

Merry Christmas, and Hopes for a Better Tomorrow... sometime in the not too distant future.

Today is a public holiday in all of Europe, North America and Asia so even if any brokers allow trading the liquidity will be extremely low and spreads are likely to be high.

Bear in mind tomorrow is also a public holiday in the UK so there will be no London open
