Christmas and New Year's Holiday transactions

During Christmas and New Year holidays, the number of trading participants decreases due to the effects of national and international holidays and closures in major trading markets, and market liquidity decreases, making it difficult to present stable rates in all currency pairs.

Due to sudden changes in rates, spreads (differences between selling and buying prices), suspension of rate presentation, etc., loss cuts and stop orders may be executed at a rate that is less favorable than expected, or orders may not be fulfilled. Please be careful when making trades.

In particular, around Christmas and the first business day of the new year, market liquidity is expected to decline significantly, and there is a risk that rate suspensions will intermittently stop.
For the above reasons, December 25, 2019 (Wednesday) and January 2, 2020 (Thursday) (both during business days) are excluded from fixed spreads displayed in advertising.

Customers are advised to manage their positions in advance by adjusting their holding positions in advance or adding additional funds.
