Apply NowYF Markets Global offers Weekend FX trading, enabling market participants to capitalise on FX movements over the course of a weekend, or hedge their FX exposure when there is no underlying market available, without having to wait for the market to open on Sunday Night.
Weekend FX instruments are cash-settled CFDs enabling clients to trade on FX movements over the weekend and hedge their FX exposure. They work in the same way as weekday rolling spot FX, with the exception that they expire on market close, Sunday 17:00 EST/EDT (there are no overnight financing charges).
Weekend FX instruments are offered between Friday 17:05 to Sunday 17:00 EST/EDT and are separate instruments to those traded on weekdays.
Trading of Weekend FX instruments will not affect clients’ weekday positions.

Weekend FX instruments are available for trading between Friday 17:05 and Sunday 17:00 EST/EDT. On Market close on Sunday at 17:00 EST/EDT the Weekend FX instrument will expire, and any open positions held into the close will be settled against the settlement price.
Weekend FX instruments are completely independent to weekday rolling spot FX. Your Weekend FX open positions will not net off against any open weekday rolling spot FX positions.
The settlement price is derived using the average of the midpoint price of the YF Markets Global FX instruments between 17:10-17:30 EST/EDT on Sunday.

Weekend FX service is currently only available to clients of YF Markets Global UK and new independently funded account is required to access Weekend FX instruments.
Both accounts will remain independent, with trades on one account not offsetting or adding to the other, either in terms of position or margin requirements. Realised profits and losses on your Weekend FX account can be transferred back to your existing YF Markets Global account when requested.

Client opens a 10 contract trade in EURUSD at 1.10000, giving a notional value of $110,000. Client chooses to hold the position through to market close. At market close on Sunday the price is 1.10500, resulting in an unrealised profit of $500 ($110,500).
