To make trading easier to understand, here's a quick guide to how market closures and circuit breakers can affect products linked to traditional financial markets. Since these products track real-world markets, their trading, pricing, and liquidity can change when those markets are closed or experience sudden volatility.

1. What is a market closure?

A market closure means the underlying market is temporarily closed for trading. During these periods, you might notice limited functionality such as being unable to trade, slower price updates, or lower liquidity.

This can happen during:

• Pre-market and after-hours periods
• Weekends
• Public holidays
• Unexpected exchange halts

When this happens, WEEX may temporarily limit trading, show risk alerts, or adjust displays based on actual conditions.

2. What to expect during closures

Here are a few things you might experience:

• Trading may be unavailable
• Prices may update less frequently and are for reference only
• Liquidity may drop, leading to wider spreads
• Prices may move quickly once the market reopens

Keep an eye on market status and platform notifications during these times.

3. What is a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker is a safety mechanism used by traditional markets to prevent extreme price swings. When an asset experiences rapid price changes and reaches predefined thresholds, the exchange may temporarily halt trading to stabilize the market.

Since your products are linked to these underlying assets, any circuit breaker, trading halt, or restriction may also affect trading on WEEX.

4. What to expect during a circuit breaker?

If a circuit breaker is triggered in the underlying market, you may notice:

• Trading may be paused or limited (including opening or closing positions)
• Slower or irregular price updates
• Lower liquidity and a thinner order book
• Orders may not be filled as expected
• You can still cancel unfilled orders
• Prices may move sharply once trading resumes

Remain alert to market risks and trade carefully during these periods.

5. Risk reminder

Products linked to traditional markets can be heavily influenced by trading hours, holidays, market volatility, and liquidity. Especially during closures, low-liquidity periods, or circuit breakers, you may experience reduced ability to trade, less stable pricing, and slower order execution.

Make sure to check the market status, countdowns, and any risk alerts on WEEX before placing orders, and always trade according to your own risk tolerance.

6. Final notes

Each market follows its own trading hours, holiday schedules, and circuit breaker rules. If there are any changes in the underlying markets, WEEX will update accordingly. For the latest information, refer to the product details page, trading interface, and official announcements.
