What is a weekend trader?

Weekend traders are individuals who engage in buying and selling financial instruments, such as stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies, during the weekend when most traditional markets are closed. They typically take advantage of markets that operate 24/7, like cryptocurrencies, or use strategies that anticipate market movements based on weekend news and events. Weekend trading can involve higher risks due to lower liquidity and increased volatility, so it often requires careful planning and risk management. Many weekend traders use online platforms that support after-hours or continuous trading.
