Default prices over weekends????

Hey all,

Does anyone know how I can check currency prices over the weekend? My broker opens at 5pm EST on Sundays and I am needing to find out what prices are at least by 4:30pm EST (prior to open)

Any ideas??

There is no weekend trading in Forex, so look at the close price from Friday.

actually there is trading over the weekends, just not available through the average broker (only major banks). Markets DO move over the weekends and I do not need to trade I just am trying to find a way to monitor the price.

I didn't know that

I am guessing it is only available to an elite group with very big accounts.

My ideas:
  • Open a very big account
  • Make friends with someone who has a very big account

Ok, I am walking away now .... you can kick me on the way out

Yeah Jay, you can get filled on weekends at some brokers...but it will cost you big....at least a 10 pip spread.

To actually contribute something useful to this thread I did some searching and I found it mentioned in a few places that Oanda has weekend rates. Couldn't locate any other specifics.

Why would they only allow banks or big traders access to trading on the weekends and not the average retail trader?
