## Gaps

As the price of forex pairs can change while the market is closed, this can result in gaps, where the market opens at a different price than the price it closed at the last time it was open.

Due to this, we cannot guarantee stop losses, so you must be careful with keeping trades open while the market is closed. It could be liquidated because of a significant gap in the opposite direction once the market opens. It could also result in a more significant win than you initially planned, as volatility works on both sides. Please consider this when using high leverage.
