Hoping there will be a 24 X 7 Forex Market

I like if the forex market works 24 X 7 Days.....Hope future brokers will provide the same thing...because currencies are moving all day...

So you think that the goldman sachs, deutsche bank & citigroup traders will also go to work on saturday and sunday, just so that you can trade on the weekends too? Cause it's them who move the markets, not us small retail traders.

Even if the brokers would provide access to the markets during weekends, you would have incredibly large spreads and almost no movements. The large players are out of their offices during weekend.

WELL SAID

We dont have any holdiay in gulf countries in saturday & sunday....all our banks are open here....Our holiday is in friday..

With all respect to you and your country, I doubt that your local banks only will give some consistent moves to the market on week-ends.

THERE IS A WAY TO GET REAL 24/7 TRADING IN FOREX:

30 years ago, if you told the smartest members of your family that a regular working class citizen could open up a Forex acct and trade it with up to 400:1 leverage with just a few hundred or less to start in your account, AND......you could watch all the action on a screen smaller than a toaster, would they not think you are a fool or an idiot?

Just 5 years ago if you were told that you could get spreads "almost" on the level as an Interbank trader such as 1.8 on the Eur/USD and that on exotic pairs you could still get in for around 3 pips, would'nt you tell tell that person he needs to see a doctor?

Now if someone told you that in order to encourage more Forex trading which if it is any percentage like the stockmarket, 90% of all the trades you see are totally un-necessary anyway, they are going to offer the big firms and even financial Institutions not yet involved in currency trading, big incentives to do so, would that seem so far fetched? NOT AT ALL,RIGHT?

Well, thats all it would take,and all it ever takes in the financial world to move money around. Incentives. We had normal blue collar salesmen along with the most sophisticated money managers and bankers selling something called CDO'S which today they still dont really know how to pulll them apart, didnt they get those people to buy and sell them? Yes. Why? Incentives! Big ones!!!

So, yes it is true, we the retail guy has no say, but when the Forex industry as a whole gets together (sort of like the 7 sisters of Forex) to plan a way to make firms "want" to hire more people just to overlap the weekends...they will find a way to do it. Tax breaks, rebates on bigger lot orders and more are always possible. If I was FXCM, OANDA, and now Citibank has a retail dealing desk(10k gets you in) I would for 3 trillion a day in action, like a casino, start wining and dining these big execs and prove to them they need to get their seat first in the new______??????

I say in under 2 years it becomes a reality. Look at the signs. Russia announced they are debating whether to open the doors like the USA and really regulate Forex and make it available to all, and it is hugely popular there, other countries could be dragged into the mix too.

nice talk............

Well, when there's an interstellar exchange market, the idea of 24/7 will be another number to other system/planets. Then maybe there can be something called temporal arbitrage from different satellite-routers or some shit. So, weekend trading for the retail seems to be very novel to me in really wanting to pursue, because it will eventually happen.
