24/7 crypto trading means cryptocurrencies trade every hour of every day, including nights, weekends and holidays, with no opening or closing bell.
On Friday at 4:00 PM, when the stock market closes, you hold 1.5 coins of a cryptocurrency priced at $2,000, so your position is worth $3,000. On Saturday night the coin falls 8% on news. With no market close, the price moves straight away, and your position is worth about $2,760 by Sunday morning.
A stock hit by the same news would have opened lower on Monday instead. Because there is no close, a coin has no official closing price, and a day's change is usually measured over the last 24 hours.
On JagSim, coins trade as US-dollar pairs such as BTC-USD and ETH-USD, at any hour of any day, in fractions of a coin. A coin market order fills at once at any hour, and limit and stop orders for coins are always good til canceled. A coin's Day Change is measured from its price 24 hours earlier, and a coin price that stands far apart from the minutes around it is not traded on. Coins pay no dividends. How trading works on JagSim.
Coins trade on many exchanges around the world, with no single central exchange setting hours, and the networks behind them run without a break.
Weekend trading is often thinner, with fewer people trading, so prices can move further on less trading. That is a tendency, not a rule.
Not an official one. Charts and exchanges pick a cut-off, often midnight UTC, to draw daily candles, and many apps show the change over the last 24 hours.
Yes. Coins trade at any hour of any day on JagSim, while stock orders wait for the next regular session.
