Important Update: Transition to Spot Contracts

Dear clients,

In response to high demand, we are updating our list of available instruments by introducing new spot contracts on indices and commodities. These instruments offer greater trading flexibility and more precise technical analysis.

Key changes

Starting March 4, 2025, existing futures contracts on commodities and indices will be gradually removed from the quotation list as they reach their expiration dates. This change is due to our liquidity providers discontinuing support for futures contracts.

Why trade spot contracts?

• No expirations. Spot contracts never expire, eliminating the need to track contract rollovers.
• Real market prices. Spot prices reflect actual market supply and demand in real time, without the distortions caused by futures rollovers.
• Improved technical analysis. Spot contract charts are free from price gaps associated with expirations, making market analysis more precise.

Important information

All open futures positions will be automatically closed at the last available price in the MetaTrader terminal at the end of trading on the expiration date.

Futures contracts have been moved to the Futures Indices and Futures Commodities sections in the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 terminals (Market Watch → Symbols).

What you need to do

• Adjust your trading strategy. If you trade futures, review these changes and adapt your approach accordingly.
• Switch to spot contracts. If you prefer instruments without expiration dates, consider trading spot contracts instead.

Need assistance? Our dedicated support team is available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have.
