Many of the trading markets around the world are situated in fixed locations and operate within strict trading hours, often limited to just five or six hours a day between Monday and Friday. The Forex market however is open 24 hours a day. This means that traders can not only take advantage of international events and react literally as they happen, but they also have the ability set their own trading hours. If you prefer to work in the mornings then that’s fine but, if this doesn’t suit you, then you can choose to trade during the afternoon, late evening or even in the middle of the night if you want to.
