Also, please note that the time of trading servers indicated on the platform will shift 1 hour back on 27 October 2025 for the countries that do not use winter time.

This information is for guidance purposes and subject to change. Please check this announcement on our site to be informed about other possible changes in the trading hours.

Summarizing the news: Europe will switch to winter time one week earlier than the USA (on the night of 25-26 October 2025). This will lead to temporary changes in trading sessions, as our server operates on European time, which will remain unchanged. Therefore, during the period from 27 October to 3 November 2025, the trading hours for some instruments will shift one hour back. When the USA switches to winter time on 3 November 2025, the trading sessions will return to their regular schedule.

However, for countries that do not observe the switch to winter time, the time difference with our trading server will change when it, along with Europe, transitions to winter time.

If necessary, adjust your trading strategy to these changes. Please contact our support service if you need assistance.

With best regards,
