AND HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
Trading Update | 26 Mar, 2026
All times hereafter are expressed in MetaTrader platform time — GMT+3.
Daylight Saving Time Change in Europe
On Sunday, 29 Mar 2026, Europe will transition to Daylight Saving Time (DST). Trading will not be interrupted. However, Max Daily Loss, which is monitored in Prague time (CET), and the daily drawdown resets at midnight CET. Starting 29 Mar 2026 at 04:00 GMT+3 (02:00 CET), the offset between Prague time (CEST) and MetaTrader time (GMT+3) will again be just 1 hour. Please take this into account to avoid any accidental breach of the Max Daily Loss due to this time difference.
If you are unsure when the Max Daily Loss resets, you can check your Account MetriX by hovering over Today’s Permitted Loss, where a tooltip with a countdown to the reset will be displayed. Alternatively, you can contact us via live chat for further assistance.
