When does MSFTUSDT trade?
The perpetual trades around the clock, but it follows a market that is open 09:30 to 16:00 New York time. Outside those hours, and at weekends, the book is thinner and spreads are wider.
What are the risks of trading Microsoft on a prop account?
- Results are published four times a year, after or before the New York session. A move of several percent in minutes is normal on those days.
- The market it follows is closed at weekends. A position held through the weekend meets Monday’s opening price, which can be far from Friday’s close.
- This is a perpetual contract: it has no expiry, and its price can sit slightly above or below the market it follows.
