Forex and OTC explained
Understand market hours, Forex closures, and the correct way to select a pair.
1
Forex
Forex uses standard currency-pair quotes and follows market hours. It closes on weekends and some holidays; SignalFlow displays the reopening countdown and should not issue Forex signals while closed.
2
OTC
OTC pairs follow the Binodex schedule and carry a distinct label. Their quotes should not be compared directly with standard interbank Forex; use the chart for the exact OTC pair selected.
3
Choose deliberately
Do not select a market only because it is open. Consider liquidity, sharp price moves, news, and your own risk plan.
