Hello

I wanted to know if the Forex market is sometimes closed on special occasions (such as holidays) except of course for Saturdays and Sundays?
If so, can any one please place a link to site which publish those dates.

Thanks

Click on the calendar tab here on the forum and select next weeks dates, it will show you the banks that are closed. Monday thru Wednesday will be a fx ghost town.

Yes Agree with you. I may start trade from 3rd Of Jan 2013. Because not much liquidity and high spread on currencies.

The forex market is never closed. To make explaining really simple, the forex market is made up of a network of banks.

When 1 bank for a particular country is closed for holidays, they do not trade. But that does not mean other banks from other countries do not trade.

So forex is never closed. Unless all the banks of the world go on holiday at the same time.

The forex market does not close, but brokers do. You need to check with your broker to see what hours they open during the holidays.
