Platform Maintenance

PipFarm's trading platform runs on cTrader, which typically undergoes maintenance on the Saturday following the NFP release each month. Our price feed provider may also carry out maintenance on weekends.

⚠️ Cryptocurrency traders: during cTrader maintenance windows, crypto instruments will be unavailable even though crypto markets trade 24/7. Plan your positions accordingly.
