This two-week change is due to the US switching over to Daylight Saving Time two weeks before Eastern Europe does (we continue working on Eastern European Time (EET)).

Please note that here is a higher level of risk involved in maintaining opened positions and pending orders over the holiday period and other events. The indicated trading hours are subject to change by the respective exchanges or liquidity providers.
