Weekend Gap

Why it happens

FX is closed on weekends, but macro events can still happen. Crypto and some CFDs may quote on weekends, yet liquidity and rules can differ.

Trading impact

Stops may slip, margin level may drop suddenly and high-leverage accounts can be liquidated more easily.

Risk actions

Reduce size before weekend, lower leverage, check guaranteed stops and negative balance protection, and avoid full-margin weekend exposure.
