When can I trade Forex currency pairs on MT4 and MT5?

If you are using XM MT4, the trading hours are 24 hours per day, starting from Sunday 22:05 GMT and closing on Friday 21:50 GMT.

Server time is GMT + 2 (GMT + 3 applies during daylight saving/summer time).

The trading hours can be changed temporary in case some countries have national public holidays and the exchange market is closed.

The exchange markets are opened 24/5 in the world though, some other brokers do set a restrictions to trading hours especially around the time when date changes for about 5 minutes.

XM does not set any restrictions to trading hours though, you may want to be aware of that around weekends and when date changes(in GMT+3), low liquidity and widened spread is seen often.

In case of trading CFDs, the instruments are available for trading only limited hours depending on the symbol.

Please refer to the “contract specifications” in XM Official Website.

XM informs all its traders for any changes of market hours, with emails and on their official website.
