other than oanda, who else offert 24/7 trading hours ????
I have ThinkorSwim through TD Ameritrade. No notice of closedown. I never new brokers could cut it out like that. Forex any day has volatility and risk. Traders know that, and in theory traders thrive off volatility swings. So, to shut down like that is odd. Have not noticed any other positing other than Oanda.

The Market never close!!! Your broker disconnect from interbank.
Also there is no such thing as a gap!! yes no gap!! if you have enough money to have an account with a decent broker then you will never see a gap in your charts!

forex market is open 24/7 everyday
major banks, trading offices, and stock markets worldwide close on weekends. therefor volatility and liquidity are way too low to trade. the spreads are also way too high for normal investors to trade

1906: Matthew Price, BBC Europe correspondent, says: If those exit polls are correct - and remember they are very close - then the next Greek government will be led by New Democracy (Europe's preferred choice) in coalition with one or two other parties. Still, it will be relatively weak, and it will seek to change the terms of the bailout. And Europe, we assume, will have to comply to some extent because the vote against the status quo here, against more cuts and tax hikes, has been huge.


1854: Now Syriza is quoting a source suggesting that IT is ahead by one percentage point, according to Kathimerini newspaper.

Broker closes on the weekend, however if my mom decide to buy a boat from Amazon (I'm from Fiji) then she needs USD to buy it (which's being converted by the bank using online transaction system provided by VISA). Therefore, my mom is participating in the market, therefore the market is active and open. Only the broker is closed.

My mom used some USD to purchase goods yesterday, if EU gap down, don't blame my MOM

The currency market does not close, only your broker closes.
The interbank market is unregulated and decentralized. There is no specific location or exchange where these currency transactions take place. However, foreign currency options are regulated in the United States and trade on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. Further, in the U.S., the Federal Reserve Bank publishes closing spot prices on a daily basis.

WIKIPEDIA.

Your quotes are made by market makers. Market Makers are not "the market" They are part of it only. This is Over The Counter Transactions as there is not Central Clearin system as stated above "UNREGULATED AND DECENTRALIZED".

Like a dark pool if you prefer.

Market as one price. OTC/Dark Pools have many different ones (that should converge, i admit)

although it might be harsh of oanda not to let trade,but in long term they are saving accounts instead letting some ejjits place bets and blow account up.
