Question 1

What is the trade calculator?

Accepted Answer

The Opheleo trade calculator is an interactive tool available on the Trading Hours page that allows traders to calculate key parameters of a trade before placing it. You can calculate your pip value, required margin, and trading fees based on the symbol, leverage, account currency, account type (Standard or Cent), and volume (lot size) you enter. It helps traders plan positions accurately and understand the cost and margin implications of a trade before execution.

Question 2

How do I use the Opheleo trade calculator?

Accepted Answer

To use the Opheleo trade calculator: select your account type (Standard or Cent); choose the symbol you wish to trade from the dropdown; set your leverage; select your account currency; enter the volume in lots (minimum 0.01); then click Calculate. The results will display your pip value, required margin, and trading fees for the position you have configured.

Question 3

What do the calculation results in the trade calculator mean?

Accepted Answer

The trade calculator returns three key results: Pip Value — the monetary value of one pip movement for the configured position size and account currency, used to understand profit/loss per pip; Required Margin — the amount of capital that must be available in your account to open and maintain the position at the chosen leverage level; Trading Fees — the cost of opening the trade, calculated from the applicable spread and commission for the selected instrument and account type.

Question 4

What are the four major Forex trading sessions?

Accepted Answer

The four major Forex trading sessions are: the Sydney session (Australia), which is the first to open each trading day; the Tokyo session (Japan), representing the Asian trading session; the London session (United Kingdom), the largest and most liquid Forex session globally; and the New York session (United States), the second largest session. The Opheleo trading hours page shows each session in its market's local time. Note that the US, UK, and Australia observe Daylight Saving Time (DST), which affects local session times.

Question 5

What is the most active Forex trading time of day?

Accepted Answer

The most active and liquid period of the Forex trading day is the overlap between the London session and the New York session. During this overlap, both the world's largest (London) and second largest (New York) markets are simultaneously open, resulting in the highest trading volume, tightest spreads, and greatest number of market participants. Traders typically find the most trading opportunities during this period.

Question 6

How does Daylight Saving Time (DST) affect trading hours?

Accepted Answer

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is observed by countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. When DST begins or ends in these countries, the local time offset from UTC changes by one hour, which shifts their market session open and close times relative to your own local time zone. The Opheleo trading hours page tracks each session in its market’s local time, so open and closed status follows these DST changes. Traders should account for DST changes when planning trades around specific session open and close times.

Question 7

When does the Forex market open and close?

Accepted Answer

The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week — from Sunday evening (when the Sydney session opens) to Friday evening (when the New York session closes). On Opheleo, Forex pairs trade from Monday 00:00:00 to Friday 23:59:59 GMT+3 server time. The market does not trade on Saturdays and Sundays. Cryptocurrency CFDs are the only instrument available 24/7 including weekends.

Question 8

Can I check public holiday trading hour changes on the Opheleo trading hours page?

Accepted Answer

The Opheleo trading hours page shows the live open or closed status of each major market session. Trading hours for some instruments can change around major public holidays such as Christmas, New Year, and US Independence Day, which may cause reduced liquidity or temporary market closures. For holiday schedules, check the Opheleo Help Centre at support.opheleo.com or contact support@opheleo.com before trading around these dates.

Question 9

What does the Opheleo currency converter do?

Accepted Answer

The Opheleo currency converter is a free real-time tool available on the trading hours page that converts amounts between currency pairs using live exchange rates. The converter is updated in real time, ensuring you always have access to the most accurate and up-to-date exchange rates. It also includes Tick History data for supported currency pairs.
