IT Maintenance
During maintenance on Sunday, 3 Aug 2025, our IT teams will perform infrastructure optimisation of our databases and supporting systems, which will cause disruptions to some parts of our services.
- Client Area will be inaccessible or experience disruptions – services such as Account MetriX, KYC, payouts, billing, new order purchases and others will also be temporarily unavailable.
- Automatic email communication will pick up delays during the maintenance time, but all emails will be sent once the maintenance is completed.
- Our web pages will be operational. However, some components (such as the symbol specification page) may experience disruptions.
- Our chat and email support will be available during this time, but due to the disruption of our systems, their ability to assist with account/order-specific queries will be limited. A higher number of chat requests due to the disruptions might be expected, so we kindly ask you for patience during this time. Ideally, check back after 13:30 and contact us past this time if you need anything. Thank you.

The situation in Ukraine - geopolitical development, sanctions, and markets
Due to the war in Ukraine, traders can experience increased uncertainty in the markets, accompanied by increased volatility on many assets, along with the possibility of price spikes, whipsaws, flash crashes, spread widening and liquidity supply issues. Traders are advised to pay extra caution while trading during these times. Risk management and capital preservation should be the key focus of every trader, just as being aware and adaptive to the market conditions that might be unpredictable or risky.
Unfortunately, at this time, we are not allowed to process payments to regions of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine and our clients from there, as per the latest sanctions imposed in connection with the war in Ukraine. There are also sanctions targeting some Russian banks and high-profile individuals. We are not allowed to process any payouts to clients and banks on the sanction list. Payouts to our clients from/in the subject locations, or being subject to the sanctions list, will be possible once the imposed sanctions are lifted. Crypto payouts are included in the restrictions.
