All times hereafter are expressed in MetaTrader platform time \u2014 GMT+3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We will perform scheduled maintenance on all trading platforms (MT4<\/strong>, MT5<\/strong>, TradingView<\/strong>, and cTrader<\/strong>) on Saturday<\/strong>, 17 Oct 2026<\/strong>, between 3:00<\/strong> and 5:00<\/strong>. Additionally, the maintenance will continue between 8:00<\/strong> and 12:00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Daylight Saving Time change in Europe<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Sunday<\/strong>, 25 October 2026<\/strong>, Europe will no longer observe Summer Time. The change occurs in Prague at 3:00<\/strong> CEST, when clocks move back to 2:00<\/strong> CET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the DST time change, on 26 Oct 2026<\/strong>, the trade hours for European stocks<\/strong> (Equities II<\/strong>) and the European indices<\/strong> as below will be shifted one hour ahead in MT4<\/strong> and MT5<\/strong> platforms, so for example, AIRF<\/strong> will have trade hours 11:05<\/strong>\u201319:30<\/strong> instead of the current 10:05<\/strong>\u201318:30<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changes affect the following Instruments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
SPN35.cash<\/strong><\/td>EU50.cash<\/strong><\/td>FRA40.cash<\/strong><\/td>N25.cash<\/strong><\/td>COCOA.c<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n
COFFEE.c<\/strong><\/td>SUGAR.c<\/strong><\/td>ADSGn<\/strong><\/td>AIRF<\/strong><\/td>ALVG<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n
BAYGn<\/strong><\/td>BMW<\/strong><\/td>DBKGn<\/strong><\/td>IBE<\/strong><\/td>LVMH<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n
MBG<\/strong><\/td>SAN<\/strong><\/td>SIEGn<\/strong><\/td>TTE<\/strong><\/td>VOWG_p<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cTrader<\/strong> platforms display trade hours as per the chosen timezone, so the hours will be displayed to you depending on which zone you have chosen. The above-listed symbols\u2019 trade hours follow the European time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changed trade hours will be applicable during the week between 26 Oct 2026<\/strong> and 1 Nov 2026<\/strong>. Since the US will be adjusting its DST time on 1 Nov 2026<\/strong>, the market opening times for these symbols will revert to their original opening times on 2 Nov 2026<\/strong>. For example, AIRF<\/strong> will once again have trade hours in MT4<\/strong> and MT5<\/strong> between 10:05<\/strong>\u201318:30<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be mindful that Max Daily Loss is monitored based on Prague\u2019s time<\/strong> and the daily drawdown resets at midnight. During the week between 26 Oct 2026<\/strong> and 1 Nov 2026<\/strong>, the offset between Prague\u2019s midnight and MetaTrader\u2019s midnight will be 2 hours instead of the usual 1 hour<\/strong>. Please make sure to take this into account to prevent any accidental breach of Max Daily Loss due to this time offset. If you are unsure when exactly the Max Daily Loss resets, you can go to your Account MetriX and hover your mouse cursor over Today\u2019s permitted loss. The tooltip has a countdown to the reset. Alternatively, you can contact us on live chat for further assistance.<\/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":"
