Key Notes:

• Daily Breaks: These are periods when trading pauses. No new positions can be opened/closed, but pending orders may execute post-reopening.
• Variable Hours: Trading times may shift due to liquidity or early market closures. eToro may delay openings or halt trading if liquidity is insufficient.

Why Trading Hours Matter

Understanding market hours helps traders:

1. Plan Entries/Exits: Align strategies with active sessions.
2. Avoid Gaps: Prevent orders from lingering during breaks.
3. Leverage Volatility: Major events often coincide with peak hours.

FAQ

1. Can I trade during market breaks?

No, but pending orders (e.g., stop-loss) will activate when markets reopen.

2. Do holidays affect trading hours?

Yes. Exchanges follow local holidays—check eToro’s holiday calendar for updates.

3. Why do extended hours exist?

👉 Extended hours allow pre/post-market trading, offering flexibility but with lower liquidity.

4. How does liquidity impact trading?

Low liquidity may widen spreads or delay order execution.

5. Are crypto markets affected?

No. Cryptocurrencies trade 24/7, unlike traditional markets.

6. What if my local time differs?

Convert times using UTC or tools like World Time Buddy.

Always verify real-time schedules on eToro’s platform before trading.
