Relevant to FTMO, the decisive timezone relevant to Max Daily Loss resets - Central European Summer Time (CEST) will change to Central European Time (CET). This change occurs in Prague exactly at 03:00 CEST. At that moment, it changes to 02:00 CET.\r\n\r\nDue to the DST time change, on <strong>28 Oct 2024, <\/strong>the trade hours for European stocks (<strong>Equities II<\/strong>) and the Spanish index (<strong>SPN35.cash<\/strong>) will be shifted one hour ahead in <strong>MT4<\/strong> and <strong>MT5 platforms<\/strong>, so for example, AIRF will have trade hours <strong>11<\/strong>:<strong>05<\/strong>-<strong>19<\/strong>:<strong>30<\/strong> instead of the current <strong>10<\/strong>:<strong>05<\/strong>-<strong>18<\/strong>:<strong>30<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThese changes affect the following Instruments:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>AIRF<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>ALVG<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>BAYGn<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>DBKGn<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>I<\/strong><strong>BE<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>LVMH<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>VOWG_p<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>SPN35.cash<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>cTrader<\/strong> and <strong>DXtrade<\/strong> <strong>platforms<\/strong> 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' trade hours follow the European time.\r\n\r\nThese changed trade hours will be applicable during the week between <strong>28 Oct 2024<\/strong> and <strong>3 Nov 2024.<\/strong> Since the US will be adjusting its DST time on 3 Nov 2024, the market opening times for these symbols will revert to their original opening times on<strong> 3 Nov 2024<\/strong>. For example, AIRF will once again have trade hours in <strong>MT4<\/strong> and <strong>MT5<\/strong> between <strong>10<\/strong>:<strong>05<\/strong>-<strong>18<\/strong>:<strong>30<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nPlease be mindful that <b class=\"black-bold\">Max Daily Loss is monitored based on Prague's time <\/b>and the daily drawdown resets at midnight. During the week between <strong>28<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Oct 2024<\/strong> and <strong>3 Nov 2024<\/strong>, the offset between <b class=\"black-bold\">Prague's midnight and the MetaTrader's midnight will be 2 hours instead of the usual 1 hour<\/b>. 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 with your mouse cursor over Today's permitted loss. The tooltip has a countdown to the reset. Alternatively, you can contact us on live chat for further assistance.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Listing of NATGAS.cash:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nAs announced last week,<strong> NATGAS.cash<\/strong> has been listed for Free Trial accounts on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. The symbol will have a further testing period and will not be listed for the paid accounts (FTMO Challenge, Verifications, and FTMO Accounts) during the next weekend. The likely listing date is 10 Nov 2024 and it will be confirmed accordingly during the next weeks.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3><\/h3>","secondary_content":"Overnight rollover\u00a0<strong>swaps<\/strong>\u00a0are subject to regular changes and adjustments, reflecting, among other things, interest rate differentials and dividend adjustments.
