RoboForex review: U.S. holiday prompts temporary trading schedule changes
RoboForex has announced temporary adjustments to its trading schedule in connection with Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States, a federal holiday that affects market hours across multiple asset classes.
The changes apply to trading activity on January 19–20, 2026, and impact several instruments available on the broker’s MetaTrader and R StocksTrader platforms, reflecting reduced U.S. market participation during the holiday period.
Adjusted hours across key asset classes
According to RoboForex, trading on January 19, 2026, will be shortened or suspended for a range of U.S.-linked instruments. On the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, trading in CFDs on major U.S. indices—US30Cash, US500Cash, and USTECHCash—as well as the Japanese index JP225Cash, will end early at 7:45 PM server time. Normal trading conditions will resume on January 20, 2026.
A similar early close at 7:45 PM server time will apply on January 19 to CFDs on precious metals, including XAUUSD, XAGUSD, and XAUEUR, and to CFDs on oil benchmarks such as Brent and WTI. Trading in these instruments will also return to standard hours the following day.
Trading in CFDs on U.S. stocks will be fully closed on January 19 and reopen on January 20. RoboForex notes that U.S. stock CFDs are available on MetaTrader 5 only.
Platform-specific impact on R StocksTrader
On the R StocksTrader platform, trading in U.S. stocks, ETFs, and CFDs on U.S. stocks and ETFs will be unavailable throughout January 19, resuming as usual on January 20. CFDs on U.S. indices—including US500, US30, and NAS100—along with CFDs on metals and oil (WTI.oil and BRENT.oil), will also close early at 7:45 PM server time on January 19.
Planning around holiday liquidity
RoboForex emphasized that the schedule is provided for informational purposes and may be subject to further amendments. Traders are encouraged to factor reduced liquidity and potential volatility into their risk management strategies during holiday-affected sessions.
As a multi-asset broker offering access to forex, CFDs, stocks, and ETFs across several platforms, RoboForex highlights transparency around trading conditions as a key part of its client service. Looking ahead, traders should monitor upcoming public holidays and broker notices, as similar schedule adjustments can influence execution conditions and market behavior.
