We are introducing updates to the VIX symbol’s trading hours and leverage settings to offer a more efficient and market-aligned trading experience.
These changes will take place in two phases:
Trading Hours Extended
The VIX symbol will be available for trading during longer, more flexible hours, improving your access to the market throughout the week.
New Trading Sessions (UTC+3):
| Day | Current Trading Hours | New Trading Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Monday – Thursday | 16:30–23:15 | 01:01-23:15, 23:30-23:58 |
| Friday | 16:30–23:15 | 01:01-23:15 |
These new hours go live on Monday, June 16, 2025, at 00:00 (GMT+3).
Friday Leverage Adjustment
To support better risk management ahead of weekly market closure, leverage for the VIX symbol will be reduced to 1:10 every Friday before market close, beginning June 13, 2025.
We recommend checking your open positions and adjusting your strategies ahead of these changes to avoid any disruption to your trades.
For any questions or assistance, feel free to contact our support team. We are happy to help.
