Weekend Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We will perform scheduled maintenance on the cTrader<\/strong> trading platform on Saturday<\/strong>, 3 Oct 2026<\/strong>, between 8:00<\/strong> and 22:00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the maintenance window above, trading on the specified platform will be disabled<\/strong>, and access may be fully restricted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong National Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to the National Day<\/strong> holiday in Hong Kong, HK50.cash<\/strong> will be closed whole day<\/strong> on Thursday<\/strong>, 1 Oct 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian Time Change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Australia will observe Daylight Saving Time (DST)<\/strong> starting on Sunday<\/strong>, 4 Oct 2026<\/strong>. To align with this change, we will adjust the trading hours of the AUS200.cash<\/strong> symbol one hour backwards<\/strong>. This adjustment ensures that trading on AUS200.cash remains consistent with the local Australian market time. The updated trading hours will be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 2:55\u20139:30<\/strong> (current<\/strong>) \u2192 1:55\u20138:30<\/strong> (new<\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 10:15\u201323:55<\/strong> (current<\/strong>) \u2192 9:15\u201322:55<\/strong> (new<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We kindly encourage you to review these changes and adjust your trading plans accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overnight rollover swaps<\/strong> are subject to regular changes and adjustments, reflecting, among other things, interest rate differentials and dividend adjustments. If you are holding positions overnight, please be reminded that it is your responsibility to check these swaps in the contract specification for each symbol, and to adjust (if needed) and manage your positions accordingly. FTMO is not responsible for trading results affected by swap changes or adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The situation in Ukraine \u2013 geopolitical development, sanctions, and markets<\/p>\n\"\"\n

    \n

    Due to the war in Ukraine, traders can experience increased uncertainty in the markets, accompanied by increased volatility<\/strong> on many assets, along with the possibility of price spikes, whipsaws, flash crashes, spread widening and liquidity supply issues<\/strong>. Traders are advised to pay extra caution while trading during these times. Risk management and capital preservation<\/strong> should be the key focus of every trader, just as being aware and adaptive to the market conditions that might be unpredictable or risky.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Unfortunately, at this time, we are not allowed to process payments to regions of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
