Hours of operation in OANDA TMS

To find trading hours for specific instruments, follow these steps:

1. Go to the instrument specifications page on our website.

2. Select the desired instrument group and click on the specific instrument.

   

3. Alternatively, you can type the instrument’s name in the search field.

4. On the instrument’s page, you will find trading hours in the instrument specification table.

You cannot close existing positions or open new positions when the markets are closed. You can, however, place or modify entry, stop-loss and take-profit orders.

Spreads (the difference between the bid price and ask price) typically widen daily for non-FX CFDs and before the markets close for all other asset classes, and could trigger orders and/or margin stopout.

Ensure that you maintain sufficient margin in your OANDA TMS account at all times to avoid a margin stopout. To reduce the risk of a margin stopout, you could consider various options, such as reducing or closing your overall positions or adding more funds to your OANDA TMS account. To reduce the likelihood of unwanted order execution, you could also consider options such as widening your take-profits or stop-losses prior to the market close.

Market prices may significantly change or “gap” when the market resumes trading. This change could trigger orders, which would be executed at the prevailing market rate. For example, if a price moves against you, a stop-loss order may be triggered at a different price to the price specified on your order. This could result in additional losses.

We do not guarantee to quote all instruments during our hours of operation. There are numerous market reasons which may cause an instrument to either temporarily or permanently be withdrawn, hence preventing the opening of new positions.
