Important Notice on Max Daily Loss Reset

Please note that the Max Daily Loss is monitored in Prague time (CET), and the daily drawdown resets at midnight CET. Starting 8 Mar 2026 at 10:00 GMT+3 (08:00 CET), the offset between Prague time (CET) and MetaTrader time (GMT+3) will be 2 hours. 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 is displayed. Alternatively, you may contact us via live chat for further assistance.


Decommission of EURSEK.sim

On Friday, 13 Feb 2026, at market close, the EURSEK.sim symbol will be set to close-only and will be decommissioned from the platform in the following weeks. Traders are advised to adjust their positions and trading activity accordingly.


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.
