Crypto session guide: trading the 24/7 grid
How continuous markets change risk routines versus equity sessions.
Why 24/7 changes the game
Equity CFDs largely follow exchange hours. Crypto CFDs can move overnight, on weekends, and through macro headlines that hit when traditional desks are dark. That does not mean you must trade constantly — it means risk does not sleep.
Build a session routine
Define watch windows that fit your life. Pre-commit max loss per day, news blackout rules, and a hard stop on revenge trading after a gap.
Gaps and liquidity
Weekend open gaps and thin-book spikes are common. Size smaller into uncertain liquidity and avoid oversized leverage into major event windows.
Education, not signals

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
