Other assets require a different timing
My first experience trading TradFi instruments through crypto infrastructure brought an unexpected insight: different liquidity laws apply here.
In crypto, we’re used to the market always being "alive." But traditional assets have their own sessions.
What I noticed during testing:
• The spread widens — during off-session hours (when the underlying market is closed), the difference between the buy and sell prices can increase.
• Volatility at the open — the first minutes after the U.S. session opens require extra caution.
• Macro dependence — technical analysis works worse here if you ignore the economic statistics release calendar.
When trading TradFi, you’re trading the exchange schedule. Plan your entries according to the sessions so you don’t overpay the spread.
