What's tradable at the weekend 

ThinkMarkets clients currently have access to a growing range of markets that trade when traditional exchanges are closed: 

  • 24/7 Gold (XAUUSD247) 
  • 24/7 Silver (XAGUSD247) 
  • 24/7 Indices, including Nasdaq 100 (NAS247) and US S&P 500 (SPX247)
  • 24/7 Commodities, including Brent Crude (BRENT247) and US Crude (WTI247)
  • Cryptocurrencies, continuously priced through the weekend 
  • Synthetic indices, including the recently added WEEKEND_STORM 

Continuous pricing on gold and silver closes the gap between Friday's close and Sunday's reopen, during which price-moving news has historically gone unpriced until markets resumed on Monday. Additional weekend-tradable instruments are currently in development, with further announcements to follow. 

Weekend League: four weekends, ranked on performance not balance.

Weekend League is a client trading competition running across four consecutive weekends, from 5 to 27 September 2026. Each weekend carries its own prize pool of 2,500 USD, giving participants a new opportunity to compete every week of the competition. Unlike formats that rank by account size, Weekend League ranks participants by percentage return on capital, so performance is what counts, not the size of the account behind it. Participating trades also earn 2x ThinkRewards points, redeemable for cash, so every entrant has something to gain regardless of where they land on the leaderboard. Registration is open now via ThinkPortal.  

Executive comment 

Commenting on the announcement, Nauman Anees, CEO and co-founder of ThinkMarkets, said: 

“Trading has traditionally worked to a Monday-to-Friday clock, but that's not how our clients live. A lot of them only have the time to trade at the weekend, once work and other commitments ease off, and we don't think markets should be closed just because the traditional week is. Weekend League is one of the ways we're making that more exciting for clients who want to trade the weekend, with not only real prizes for the people who perform, but cashback for everyone who participates.”
