This study aims to show the risk reduction effects of round-the-clock trading environment. We analyse the trading results of the currency futures contracts in CME Globex which are open 23 hours a day. These include Euro FX, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, and British Pound from January 2005 to August 2013. We generate new price series using only daytime prices during about 7-hour period. This hypothetical “G” data series may have greater gap risk than the original “R” data series. Empirical results show the trading risk reduction effects, that is R data series have higher profits and lower risks than G data series.
