I don't know much about how the Forex markets work, so if this is a stupid question, please forgive me. My understanding is that Forex markets trade practically 24 hours per day. But the Barclays and Tullet quotes that IQFeed provides to my software do seem to have "dead periods" when the quotes do not change. Thus it seems that there are times - for certain forex exchanges - when the markets do in fact close -- or at least when these particular dealers do not provide quotes.

How do I find out when the markets for a particular forex symbol are "open?" (That is, how do I know when the quote provided by IQfeed is a changable quote, and not a stale yesterday's price?) Does this information vary by symbol? By dealer (ie different for Barclays and Tullet?)

Is there a Web site which lists the market windows for each forex symbol?

Any help with this will be much appreciated.

Matthew

Mathew,

We did experience an outage from Barclays early this morning that lasted about 1.5 hours. Forex trades nearly 24/7 as volume moves throughout the major Forex markets (it decreases in one market, and picks up in another).
