Just a question. Does the bitcoin futures market trades 24/7 as the current bitcoin exchanges? If it is not, then I foresee huge gaps, weekends gaps especially.
almost 24 hours / day. it will be like other CME financial instruments which are traded almost 24 hrs / day
Actually the others each have 60 minutes or so gaps. Appears Bitcoin will trade a true 24 hour period (6pm-5pm EDT) Sun thru Fri with only a reset (1 minute?) at the close of each trading day.
I know, right? Isn't there a traders golden rule - TMIAR - The market is always right? And traders will all tell you that - until they talk about the Bitcoin Bubble. (Maybe that's why bitcoin is different - ).
