However, not properly understanding how it works can often lead to unexpected losses. This article will carefully explain the situation regarding overseas forex on weekends, in a way that even beginners can understand. ■What you will learn from reading this article By reading this article, you will learn how to efficiently engage in forex trading by making the most of your weekend time, and how to aim for stable results as a side business. Please read to the end. Beginners are advised to first read the Complete Guide to Overseas Forex for Beginners. Can you trade overseas forex on weekends? Basic information that beginners should know Overseas forex is attractive because it offers a high degree of flexibility, as trading is available 24 hours a day on weekdays. However, caution is needed regarding trading on weekends. You may see information online that says \"you can trade on weekends,\" but it may be difficult for beginners to determine if that is really forex. In this chapter, we will organize and explain the trading situation on weekends in overseas forex and the points you should actually pay attention to. Understanding the basic mechanisms will help you avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and problems. Trading is not possible on weekends, regardless of whether it's domestic or international. FX trading takes place during the hours when markets around the world are open. On weekends, all major markets around the world are closed, so trading of currency pairs is suspended. This is true not only for Japanese brokers but also for overseas FX brokers. No matter how narrow the spread of a broker is, you cannot buy or sell currencies such as USD/JPY or EUR on weekends. You may see information on social media or message boards that says \"you can trade on weekends,\" but that refers to products other than FX, such as cryptocurrencies. Don't be misled, and make sure you understand the trading hours system correctly. Times when trading is not possible other than weekends There are several times when FX trading is not possible or should be avoided, even on days other than weekends. For example, during market transition times and server maintenance periods. Liquidity is particularly low in the early morning hours, and spreads tend to widen. International holidays such as New Year's and Christmas also require caution. Even if the market itself is open, there are fewer participants because many banks and large investors are on vacation. As a result, trading volume decreases, spreads tend to widen, and price movements tend to become unstable. This environment is difficult for beginners to read and prone to losses, so it is wise to refrain from trading on such days. ■Summary of times when you should avoid trading (scroll horizontally) Timing Situation Points to note/risks Market changeover times Spreads tend to widen during gaps between Tokyo, London, and NY Server maintenance (depending on the broker, this may be done on weekends or early mornings) Orders may not go through, and trading may be temporarily unavailable Year-end and New Year holidays/Christmas Financial institutions worldwide are on holiday Trading volume is low, and the market tends to be volatile About the days and times when overseas FX trading is possible Overseas FX trading is generally possible 24 hours a day, almost nonstop, from Monday to Saturday mornings. Compared to domestic FX, trading hours are longer, and there are opportunities at night and in the early morning. This is especially attractive for company employees with full-time jobs, as it makes it easier to take up as a side job. However, the exact trading hours vary depending on whether daylight saving time is in effect and the broker's server. It is very important to correctly understand when you can trade and when. This chapter explains the trading timing for each day of the week and the impact of Japanese holidays. Trading is possible from Monday morning to Saturday morning. With overseas forex brokers, you can trade from Monday morning to Saturday morning. This is because the world's markets open in sequence, with the Oceania market opening at the start of the week and the US market closing at the end. On Monday mornings, trading can start as early as 6:00 AM Japan time, and on Saturdays, trading usually closes around 6:00-7:00 AM. Especially during daylight saving time, the start and end times of trading are moved forward by one hour. If you try to trade without knowing this cycle, you may find that your orders are not being processed, leading to frustration. For example, if you try to take a position late Friday night, you might find that it has already been closed. Understanding the timing of trading can prevent unnecessary mistakes and missed opportunities. ■ Overseas FX Trading Timeline (Scroll horizontally) Day of the Week Market/Region Opening Time (Japan Time) Notes Monday Sydney Market (Australia) Around 7:00 AM (6:00 AM during daylight saving time) The earliest market to open in the world Monday morning - Tokyo Market (Japan) 9:00 AM The central market of Asia Monday evening - London Market (UK) 5:00 PM (4:00 PM during daylight saving time) The time when European traders begin to enter in earnest Monday night - New York Market (USA) 10:00 PM (9:00 PM during daylight saving time) The most active trading day Saturday NY Market Closes Around 6-7:00 AM (One hour earlier during daylight saving time) Trading is possible even if it's a public holiday in Japan, as long as it's not a public holiday overseas Another important point to know is that trading is possible even if it's a public holiday in Japan, as long as it's not a public holiday overseas. This is because the main trading is in the world's major markets (New York, London, Sydney, etc.), which are not linked to the Japanese calendar. For example, even if it's Golden Week in Japan, if overseas markets are open as usual, the trading servers of FX brokers will also be operational. However, some brokers may temporarily suspend support or widen spreads. […]"}
