from QUOTEX
If you're trading on Quotex from Bangladesh, knowing the real market open time is critical for maximizing profits and avoiding costly mistakes. So, when does Quotex's real market open in Bangladesh?
The real market on Quotex opens at 6:00 AM Bangladesh Standard Time (BST) from Monday to Friday, aligning with the opening of global financial markets in Asia.

Understanding Quotex and Its Trading Hours
Quotex is a digital options trading platform that gives you access to a wide variety of assets including currency pairs (Forex), cryptocurrencies, commodities (like gold and oil), and indices. It doesn’t operate like a traditional stock exchange; instead, it offers synthetic trading based on real market data.
While you can access the Quotex platform 24/7, the actual trading availability for each asset is tied to the real-world financial market schedules. That means your ability to open or close a trade depends on whether the market behind that asset is open.
Real Market Open Time in Bangladesh: Key Highlights
1. Forex Market on Quotex
· Bangladesh open time: 6:00 AM BST, Monday
· Close time: 5:00 AM BST, Saturday
The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week. Since Bangladesh is 6 hours ahead of GMT, trading begins at 6:00 AM on Monday and runs continuously until 5:00 AM on Saturday.
Forex is the most active market on Quotex and is available almost around the clock except during weekends. This makes it a favorite for Bangladeshi traders who prefer flexibility and liquidity.
2. Cryptocurrency Market
· Open 24/7, including weekends
Unlike other assets, crypto never sleeps. You can trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other cryptocurrencies on Quotex at any time of the day or night — even on public holidays in Bangladesh. This is a huge advantage for traders looking for weekend opportunities.
3. Stock Indices and Commodities
These depend on the stock exchanges they track:
· US indices (e.g., NASDAQ, S&P 500): Open around 8:30 PM BST (Bangladesh time), Monday to Friday.
· European indices: Start at around 12:00 PM BST.
· Asian indices (e.g., Nikkei, Hang Seng): Start from 6:00 AM BST.
Gold and oil usually follow the commodity futures markets, which open around 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM BST.
So while you can access the Quotex app any time, if you try to trade an asset outside its market hours, you’ll either see a notice or be unable to execute the trade.
Why Knowing the Real Market Open Time Matters
If you’re serious about trading, timing is everything. Here’s why knowing the real market open time in Bangladesh is crucial:
1. Volatility and OpportunitiesMarkets are most volatile — and profitable — during opening hours. For instance, the first two hours after the Forex market opens on Monday often see major price shifts.
2. Avoiding Low Liquidity PeriodsTrading during off-hours, especially right before the weekend close or on holidays, can lead to poor execution, wide spreads, and slippage.
3. Planning Trade SessionsIf you’re a day trader, you can plan your strategy around market overlaps — for example, the London-New York overlap between 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM BST is known for high liquidity.
4. Preventing Technical GlitchesTrying to trade when the underlying market is closed can lead to delayed entries, rejected orders, or pricing errors — especially if you’re using a strategy that relies on precision.
What Happens If You Try to Trade Outside Market Hours?
Quotex typically blocks trades on assets whose markets are closed. For example:
· If you try to trade EUR/USD at 4:00 AM on Saturday, you’ll likely get an error or the asset will be greyed out.
· You may also see a message like “Trading Unavailable” or “Market Closed.”
In rare cases, if a market is technically open but experiencing low liquidity, the platform might still restrict trading or widen the payout spread to compensate for risk.

How to Check Market Times on Quotex from Bangladesh
To make sure you’re trading during the correct time, use these tips:
1. In-App Asset Info
Quotex shows a real-time availability status next to each asset. If it’s green and active, the market is open. If not, you’ll see an alert or the asset will be inaccessible.
2. Use World Market Clocks
You can visit websites like Forex Factory or Market24hClock.com to match your local Bangladesh time with global market sessions. This helps especially for Forex and commodities.
3. Use a Trading Journal or Schedule
Create a weekly trading schedule based on your preferred assets:
· Forex: 6:00 AM Mon to 5:00 AM Sat
· Crypto: 24/7
· US stocks/indices: 8:30 PM to 3:00 AM BST
· Commodities: 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM BST (varies)
Trading Tips Based on Market Times in Bangladesh
Here are some practical trading tips to get the most out of your Quotex sessions:
📌 Start Early
If you’re an early riser, trade the Asian session from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM BST. This is ideal for trading assets like USD/JPY or AUD/USD.
📌 Trade News Events
Many key Forex news releases happen around 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM BST, during the London/New York overlap. This is a prime time for scalpers and volatility lovers.
📌 Avoid the First Few Minutes
Right after a market opens, prices can behave erratically. Wait 5–10 minutes before placing your first trade unless you have a strategy that relies on opening volatility.
📌 Use Weekend for Crypto Only
Since Forex and indices are closed, focus only on cryptocurrency trades during weekends. It’s a good time to test new strategies or practice with a demo account.
Common Questions from Bangladeshi Traders
Q1: Can I trade on Quotex on Fridays and Saturdays in Bangladesh?
You can trade until early Saturday (5:00 AM BST) in Forex, and crypto is available all weekend. But most other markets (stocks, indices, commodities) will be closed on Saturdays.
Q2: Is Quotex a 24/7 platform?
Yes, the platform itself is available 24/7, but the assets follow real-world trading hours. You can still access your account, make deposits, analyze charts, or trade crypto at any time.
Q3: What is the best time to trade on Quotex from Bangladesh?
The London/New York overlap from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM BST is widely considered the best for Forex. For crypto, late night hours (after 10 PM) can offer less noise and more trend stability.
Final Thoughts: Mastering Time = Mastering Profits
In trading, timing is as important as strategy. For Bangladeshi traders using Quotex, the real market open time starts at 6:00 AM BST on Monday, but each asset class has its own schedule.
By syncing your trades with these times, you not only boost your chances of making profitable decisions but also avoid costly mistakes that beginners often overlook.
Remember: Smart trading begins with smart timing.
