- 24-Hour Trading
SigmaForex is a true 24-hour, which offers a major advantage over equities trading. Whether it's 6pm or 6am, somewhere in the world there are always buyers and sellers actively trading foreign currencies. Traders can always respond to breaking news immediately, and P&L is not affected by after hours earning reports or analyst conference calls.
After hours trading for U.S. equities brings with it several limitations. ECN's (Electronic Communication Networks), also called matching systems, exist to bring together buyers and sellers - when possible. However, there is no guarantee that every trade will be executed, nor at a fair market price. Quite frequently, traders must wait until the market opens the following day in order to receive a tighter spread.
Sigmaforex trading hours determines when an investor can make his trade. There are times when he is sitting in USA making a deal with a party in Tokyo, and when night falls there, it is the end of the day for him. Even though there may be no trade happening in Japan there might be some in USA, and this will have an impact on the currency rate in his country. So, it can be said that at any given point of time someone is trading and someone is making money out of the forex trade. Sigmaforex trading hours extends for about 5 and a half working days every week and there are times when business exchanges overlap when time zones meet and this is when peak transactions take place.The trading hours will also determine the kind of business deals being carried out between countries. And the one who has made an investment in a currency pair across the globe could earn couple of pips while he is sleeping. These are basically profitable returns on the money he has put into the currency pair. One other thing to remember is that the money a person earns will be in the currency of the other country, and so he needs to be aware of the exchange rates and conversion rates to calculate how much his actual earnings are. Sometimes people get caught up in their earnings but fail to realize that their actual profits might be less if the currency's value is lesser than their own. All these need to be done within the trading hours.
