Market groups
Forex follows the trading week with rollover; stocks follow home exchanges; indices and energies use product-specific breaks; crypto CFDs may trade broadly but still have maintenance.
Risk near closure
Spread can widen and fills can thin near daily breaks, rollover, news and Friday close. A stop is not a guaranteed exit price after a gap.
Weekly process
Export the current schedule, convert consistently, mark Ethiopia-local economic events and HMR periods, and update orders whose expiry crosses a closure.
DST trap
Ethiopian clocks do not change. US or European DST can still move the local-time appearance of sessions and data releases by one hour.
Decision
Reject a market when its liquid hours do not overlap the tested workflow or when the user cannot monitor a scheduled break with open exposure.
