Many traders believe that once the market closes on Friday, everything simply “freezes” until Monday.
That assumption can be dangerous—especially if you’re holding open positions on Exness.
Let’s break down what really happens to your trades over the weekend.
1. The Market Closes, but Risk Does NOT Disappear
On Exness, most instruments (Forex, metals, indices) stop trading on Friday night and reopen on Monday.
However:
Your open positions remain active
No SL/TP execution happens while the market is closed
Prices can gap when the market reopens
👉 If the price opens far beyond your Stop Loss, the position will close at the next available price, not your SL level.
2. Weekend Gaps: The Silent Account Killer
Weekend gaps usually occur due to:
Major news released on Saturday/Sunday
Geopolitical events
Unexpected macroeconomic announcements
A gap can:
Instantly hit your Stop Loss at a worse price
Cause larger-than-expected losses
In extreme cases, trigger margin issues
This is why professional traders are very selective about holding positions over the weekend.
3. Swap & Fees on Exness
On Exness:
Swap is usually charged overnight
Triple swap is applied on specific days (depending on the instrument)
No new swap is charged while the market is closed, but existing exposure remains
Always check the contract specifications for each symbol.
4. Best Practices Before the Weekend
Smart traders usually:
Reduce position size
Close short-term or high-leverage trades
Widen SL carefully (only if justified)
Avoid emotional “hope trades”
If you’re running automated systems (EA/bots), make sure they stop opening new orders before market close.
5. Why Exness Is Still a Strong Choice
Despite weekend risks, Exness stands out because of:
Stable execution
Clear trading conditions
Flexible leverage management

Final Thought
The weekend is not “safe time” for open trades—it’s uncertain time.
Understanding how Exness handles weekend positions helps you trade with control, not hope.
Trade boring. Trade disciplined. Protect your capital.
