Ox Securities Trading Hours

Welcome to the Ox Securities Trading Hours information page. Our trading hours are tailored to synchronize with the international markets and are designed to offer our clients the best possible trading experience on the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5)  platform. Below, you will find detailed information about our trading schedule, server times, and how we align our operations with global financial markets. 

 

MT4 & MT5 Server Times:

Our MT4 & MT5 server times and charts are set to GMT+2 or GMT+3 during New York Daylight Savings to ensure alignment with the 5pm New York market close. This setting allows our platform to display five daily candles per week, maintaining consistency and accuracy in your chart analysis. 

 

Trading Hours: 

  • Forex Currency Pairs: Available for trading 24 hours a day, with a brief pause for two minutes from 23:59 to 00:01. 
  • Trading Week: Begins on Monday at 00:02 and concludes on Friday at 23:58. 

 

Why These Hours? 

We operate within these specific hours to: 

  • Ensure our platform’s 00:00 time aligns with the 5pm New York close. 
  • Protect our clients during times when liquidity providers are offline, which is typically at daily rollover and at the start and end of the trading week. These brief pauses in trading are crucial for safeguarding against market spread widening when liquidity is scarce. 

 

Instrument Specifications: 

For detailed specifications of trading instruments within MT4 or MT5: 

  1. Navigate to the ‘Market Watch’ area.
  2. Right-click on any instrument.
  3. Select ‘Specification’ to view comprehensive details on the selected instrument.

 

We provide a robust and reliable trading environment. For any further assistance or inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.
