Maintenance Schedule & Market Holidays

Monthly cTrader maintenance windows and market holiday schedules

This page lists scheduled platform maintenance and upcoming market holidays.

ℹ️ All times on this page are in UTC.

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. For cryptocurrency traders, weekend maintenance means crypto instruments may be temporarily unavailable.

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