Pretty sure forex markets are 24/7

  Not for retail trading and holidays can affect pairs.

    Retail trading in Forex markets is miniscule. <4% in 2013. Source: https://www.bis.org/publ/qtrpdf/r_qt1312z.htm https://www.bis.org/publ/qtrpdf/r_qt1312z.htm

  Yeah I guess currency exchanges / futures have always been 24/7 as there is always an open market somewhere in the world. Crypto currencies are close to that I guess. I wonder if equity markets will one day move to always on, I hope they do. With more investment options such as crypto currencies, I wonder if they will eventually do it to stay competitive to investment cash. Nothing worse than pre-market and after hours shenanigans in equity markets, can't pull that in an always on market.
