Dear Deriv Community members,
Do you know there are still markets where you can trade on Saturdays and Sundays?
There are two markets that never sleep which you can trade on Deriv — synthetic indices and cryptocurrencies.
Why trade on weekend?
- More trading time and more opportunities to take advantage of price movements.
- More flexibility to trade at your convenience where you can enjoy the freedom to choose the hours that best fit your schedule.
- Trades you make during the week will still be able to run through the weekend even if the market is closed.
Benefits to trade on the weekend:
- You have the time to review your trading journal.
- To evaluate the changes you need to implement in your strategies if they are not working in your favor.
- A good time to review whether you’ve let your emotions influence your trading decisions.
You can always practice your trading skills first, by starting with a free demo account, which comes pre-loaded with 10,000 USD of virtual money that you can use and top up when it runs out. Once you feel comfortable with your trading, you can easily switch to a real account.
Disclaimer: Some markets would charge fees if you left the trade overnight. However, it will depend on the markets you chose to trade. For more information, you may use our Swap Calculator to calculate your swap fee accordingly. Online trading with Deriv | Simple. Flexible. Reliable. 
Hope the above information is useful for everyone.
