#### Gaps
As the price of stock 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 the last time it was opened. 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 big gap in the opposite direction once the market opens. It could also result in a bigger win than you initially planned, as volatility works on both sides. Please consider this when using high leverage.
