Holiday Trading Schedule & Payout Processing | Christmas & New Year Hours


Holiday Trading Schedule & Payout Processing | Christmas & New Year Hours

Below is an overview of what to expect through January 3, including payout processing, holiday trading hours, market conditions, and support availability.

Payout processing

During this period, payout processing times may be longer than usual due to reduced banking hours and potential delays from payment partners.

No payouts will be processed on public holidays, including:

  • December 24 (Christmas Eve)
  • December 25 (Christmas Day)
  • December 26 (Boxing Day)
  • January 1 (New Year’s Day)
  • plus any regional bank holidays relevant to our operational jurisdictions.

Trading hours

Markets will operate on a modified schedule from December 24 through January 3. Please refer to the schedule below when planning your trading activity.

During this period:

  • Liquidity is often thinner than usual.
  • Spreads may widen unexpectedly.
  • Execution speeds can slow down, and volatility can be erratic.
  • Some symbols may be unavailable.

Crypto markets

Crypto markets remain open throughout the period, including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

However, crypto liquidity can also thin out over the holidays as major market makers reduce activity. As a result, users may experience:

  • More aggressive spread movements.
  • Slippage around low-liquidity hours.
  • Higher volatility spikes.

Support availability

Support remains available through the holidays, though response times may be slower than usual.

Please plan your trading with these conditions in mind. Thank you for your patience, and see you in the new year.

Please note that all accounts we provide to our clients are demo accounts with fictitious funds, and any trading is in a simulated environment only. For more information, please feel free to visit our FAQ section. Ok, I understand
