​
When a market is closed

Orders do not fill while their market is closed. This applies to orders placed during the closure and to orders already resting when the market closes, including limit, stop loss, and take profit orders. They become eligible to fill again once the market reopens.
Prices can move while a market is closed, so the price at reopen may differ from the last price before the close. Keep this in mind when setting stop loss and take profit levels on FX and commodities positions held over a close.
