Dear traders,

In observance of Labor Day on Friday, 1 May 2026, please take note of our updated trading schedule and the market-hours adjustments for that day.

Labor Day, celebrated each year on the first of May, is an opportunity to honour the valuable efforts of workers around the world. The day symbolises workers’ rights, social justice, and the improvement of working conditions, and it is often marked by marches, cultural programmes, and events that highlight the essential role of labour in the economic and social development of societies.

During this holiday, market liquidity may decline and volatility may rise. Therefore, when planning your trades, be mindful of the potential increase in transaction costs and sudden price movements so you can avoid unnecessary risk.

All times listed are in GMT (UTC +0).

My journey in the financial markets began more than five years ago, starting in the dynamic and fast‑paced world of cryptocurrencies. It was the first place where I truly immersed myself in trading and investment, learning through both the excitement and challenges of the market. As time passed, I expanded my experience by entering the Forex market, which helped me develop a deeper understanding of market structure and behavior. Throughout these years, my main focus has remained on the crypto market. Alongside hands‑on trading experience, I’ve always aimed to share what I’ve learned in a clear and practical way—this naturally led me into the world of content creation for financial markets. For over a year now, I’ve been working as a content writer at Trendo Broker, where I strive to turn years of market experience into educational, insightful, and actionable content. My goal is to create material that is valuable both for newcomers taking their first steps and for experienced traders looking to deepen their knowledge.
