Beware of slow trading on Friday (19 April) and Monday (22 April)

Holidays are coming up once again! As a result, trading will likely be slow during this time. Some markets will even be closed (check with your broker to find out which markets will be affected).

For you scalpers out there, it will probably be a good idea to exit your positions some time on Thursday and wait until the following Tuesday (23rd) before attempting any trades.

This Friday is "Good Friday" in the following countries: United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France and New Zealand.

Next Monday will be "Easter Monday" in the following countries: United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France, Italy and New Zealand. (Australia also observes "Easter Tuesday" apparently, so any AUD pairs will likely not be trading intensively on that day either)

Keep abreast of all the upcoming bank holidays in our holiday trading calendar.
