What is your plan for the Sunday open?

The forex week opens on Sunday evening in New York and the first prices can differ from Friday's close, sometimes by a wide margin after a weekend of news. The timing of that open is set by the sessions, and market sessions explained shows how the week is trimmed to the market hours that matter.

Members who trade the Sunday open usually write a plan for the first hours before the weekend ends. That plan covers what to do with open positions, whether to place any new orders, and what news would change the plan. Some members do not trade the open at all, and treat the first hours as the time to review rather than to act. Both approaches work for different people, and the open is often where a plan is tested most sharply.

We would like to hear how you plan it:

• Do you trade the Sunday open, or wait until the market has settled?
• What do you check first when the week opens: the gap, the spread or the news?
• Do you close positions before the weekend, and if so, which ones?
• What is the one rule you keep for the Sunday open?
