1 Trade cryptocurrencies 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, except for Saturday from 2am to 12noon (Dubai time). If you have a position open on one of these cryptocurrency markets, it will be affected by weekend trading. This additional trading period during the weekend means not only do you have longer to speculate on the price of different coins, but also any stops and limits you have open can be filled on the weekend. Our hours are based on UK hours, converted to UAE time zone. Due to UK clock changes during the year, the time difference between UK and UAE varies by 3 or 4 hours accordingly.
2 While leverage magnifies profits, it will also magnify losses.
3 Based on revenue (published financial statements, 2023)
