FX Instruments

Forex instruments have streaming prices and trading functionality available continuously, as follows:

  • Pricing and trading begin each Sunday at 17:10 ET

  • Pricing and trading end each Friday at 16:55 ET

  • There is a daily system reset from 16:55 until 17:10 ET, during which pricing and trading are unavailable

SPOT METALS

  • Trading starts at 18:05 ET on Sunday and remains active until 16:55 ET on Friday

FX Instruments

In the event of a holiday where pricing is shut down for a period, bridgeOMS clients should use the “Holidays” section of the MT4 Administrator to disable pricing for a specific securities group or symbol. This helps prevent errant pricing or quotes from affecting your MT4 server.
