Why the 1 hours gap before closing?
FBS has set the restriction that traders cannot trade one hour before the real market closing time on Fridays.
This is because the market volatility is low in that moment, and spread may get higher during the period.
This is to also protect traders so FBS MT4 does not require extra margins for weekends.
