So I’ve been using my practice account through Forex.com for the past few weeks. I go to log in on Friday and nothing happens. I try a few hours later, and nothing. Saturday I finally get in only to realize all of the stats are STUCK from the previous day. I call. No go. I’m waiting and waiting and waiting. I log in again Sunday morning, and its still frozen on a previous days. I tried two separate computers, same results. Forex.com, you are a no go.
Anyone else have terrible experiences with Forex.com? Thank god this was a practice account…
It’s the weekend. There’s no trading with nearly every broker on the weekend. Oanda is the only one I know that allows trading on the weekend, and even then it’s foolish to do so as the spreads are ridiculously high during that time.
I believe trading ends at 1200 GMT midnight on friday and begins 12:00 GMT midnight on sunday night
lol, good luck on catching a broker on the weekend.
seems like you were simply trading out of hours or at least trying to. has the problem been resolved now?
Yup you were out of hours, I don’t know of any broker that is open through the weekend although I’m sure there are some.
i’m not aware of any broker open during the weekends
There can’t be any forex trading at weekends if they was we would all see strange price gaps in our charts between friday close and monday open
This happens all the time what you see depends on your broker and how they display the gap on their charts. Some will show a big candle that covers the gap some show a gap.
