Weekend trading gives you access to indices and cryptocurrencies markets on Saturday and Sunday. In other words, if you think Brexit news will surface on a Saturday, causing the FTSE 100 to move, you do not have to wait until Monday to trade. During the weekend, we quote separate indexes based on our assessment of the market's prospects in light of client activity and news flow. Because of this, you can protect your weekday investments using these markets. After Sunday's close, any open positions in weekend indices will roll over into regular weekday positions, with any stops or limitations in place.

The first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions "weekend trading" is the idea of working on the weekends for more money. Weekend traders are people who trade stocks on the weekends, taking advantage of how markets move differently between the weekdays and on the weekends.

Weekend trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments outside the standard trading hours of major markets, typically on Saturdays and Sundays. While most markets, like stock exchanges, are closed on weekends, some brokers and platforms offer trading opportunities in specific markets such as cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange (forex), and certain index futures.

Weekend trading can provide flexibility and additional opportunities for traders to react to global events or market-moving news that occurs during non-business hours. However, it comes with risks like reduced liquidity, wider spreads, and higher volatility due to lower participation.

It is popular among active traders seeking to capitalize on short-term price movements but requires careful risk management and an understanding of the unique dynamics of weekend markets.
