Daylight Saving Time Changes in the USA

From Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, the USA will end Daylight Saving Time. This change occurs on the trading platform at 09:00, when clocks are moved back one hour to 08:00. Starting Monday, November 3rd, 2025, the time offset between Prague (CET) and MetaTrader (GMT+2) will return to the usual 1-hour difference.

As always, please ensure you are aware of these time adjustments to prevent any unintentional breaches of your Max Daily Loss due to time discrepancies. For confirmation of the reset time, check your Account MetriX tooltip.


Each Friday at market close, the trading platform enters maintenance mode. During this window, trading may be disabled and access to the platform may be fully restricted.


Overnight rollover swaps 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 simulated symbol, and to adjust (if needed) and manage your positions accordingly. FTMO is not responsible for trading results affected by swap changes or adjustments.
