Trading Hours Schedule - US Daylight Savings Changes

Dear Traders,  

We'd like to inform you that  between October 27 and November 3, 2024, there will be a temporary adjustment in the trading schedule.

This change is due to the Daylight Savings Time difference in the US, which will cause daily trading breaks to shift  back by one hour. This means that the trading sessions will open and close one hour earlier than usual.

The adjustment is necessary as the US switches to Daylight Saving Time one week later than Europe does. It's important to note that the Forex trading opening hours on Monday, October 28 (at 00:05 EET), will remain unaffected. However, please be aware that the trading day on Friday, November 1, will end at 22:59 EET.

Additionally, the opening hours on Monday (October 28th) for Metals CFDs and US Market CFDs (Shares, Indices, Commodities, and US Treasury Note CFDs) will also be shifted  back by one hour. This change will also impact EU CFD Indices GERMANY40, FTSE100, ASX200, and STXE50 night breaks.

Please keep in mind that the indicated trading hours are subject to change by their respective exchanges or liquidity providers. These changes may also affect any applicable pre-close terms.

N.B. “Normal Hours” vary depending on the instrument. Please find specific details for each instrument in the Contract Specifications section of our website.

Currency Conversion Fee Now Visible on MT5 Platform

Dear Traders, 

We are excited to announce an important update to our MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform that enhances the way we display our currency conversion fees. Here's the essential information: 

• No new fees: We have not introduced any new charges. 
• Improved visibility: Our existing currency conversion fee is now clearly visible on your MT5 platform. 
• New 'Fee' column: You'll see a new column labeled 'Fee' that displays these charges. 

Our 0.3% currency conversion fee (with a minimum of 0.01 units of your account’s base currency) applies to trades in Stocks, ETFs, Stock CFDs, and ETF CFDs quoted in currencies other than your account's base currency. This fee has been in place for some time and applies to the settlement of actual profits and losses, distributions, and service charges. 

Previously, this fee was applied but not visible as a separate item on your trading interface. Now, you can easily track and identify these fees, giving you a clearer picture of your trading costs. 

We believe this change will enhance your trading experience by providing more transparent and accessible information about your transactions.

Kind regards,

Admirals
