Trading Update | 9 Apr, 2026

All times hereafter are expressed in MetaTrader platform time — GMT+3.


IT Maintenance

On Saturday, 11 Apr 2026, between 10:30 and 11:30, our IT teams will perform infrastructure optimisation of supporting systems, which will cause disruptions to some parts of our services.

  • The Client Area will be inaccessible or experience disruptions, resulting in temporary unavailability of services such as Account MetriX, KYC, payouts, billing, new order purchases, and others.
  • Automatic email communication may experience delays during the maintenance period, but all emails will be sent once the maintenance is complete.
  • Our web pages will be operational.
  • Our chat and email support will be available during this time, but due to system disruptions, their ability to assist with account- or order-specific queries will be limited. We kindly ask you for patience during this time.

During the maintenance window above, trading on the specified platforms will be disabled, and access may be fully restricted.


Increased Risk of Price Abnormalities

Due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, market conditions may become unstable across multiple asset classes, including FX pairs, equity indices, metals, commodities, and energy-related markets. Markets may react rapidly to new developments or headlines, potentially leading to abnormal trading conditions such as:

  • sharp price movements
  • increased volatility
  • price gaps
  • wider spreads
  • slippage
  • reduced liquidity
  • difficulties with order execution

These conditions may result in irregular price behaviour and significantly increased trading risk. Clients are strongly advised to exercise extra caution and ensure their risk management settings are appropriate when opening or holding positions.


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.
