I’ve been using a demo account on the FXCM Trading Station II desktop platform. I tried to login this morning (Saturday) and received a message saying the following:
[I]Trading is closed for the weekend. We are currently performing our regular weekly maintenance. You will be able to log in to your account by the time trading opens on Sunday. Normal trading hours are 5:15 p.m. Eastern Time (New York) on Sunday to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (New York) on Friday.[/I]
Is this normal? On DEMO and LIVE accounts? Every weekend?
It seems very strange that a user would not be able to login and perform research or review charts during this time.
