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.
