Trading Hours

Trading hours for U.S. Equity Markets 16:31 - 22:55 (GMT+3) Monday to Friday.

Trading hours for London Stock Exchange 10:01 - 18:25 (GMT+3) Monday to Friday. UK/LSE stocks are quoted in Pence.

Note: All Pending Orders will be force closed during market breaks. In case any order is left pending, it will be automatically deleted after the daily market closure time.

Attention: During the time period from 23:55 to 00:15 server time increased spreads and decreased liquidity can take place due to daily bank rollover. In case of inadequate liquidity/spreads during bank rollover, widened spreads and excessive slippage may occur. Therefore orders will not be executed during these times.

The Trading Desk will ensure that the flow of pricing reflects current market prices for the open during which time any orders or trades held over the weekend will be subject to execution. During this time the pricing being streamed is non-executable for new market orders.

Note: Following the move from one trading session to another, from time to time there is a degradation in market liquidity. This is normal behavior in the market but may result in some orders being filled at a price different to that requested and that the spreads may also widen during this time. After the open, traders may place new trades, and cancel or modify existing orders.

Single Stock Overnight Swap Rates

As with forex transactions, all Single Stock CfDs are subject to overnight financing. Intraday positions incur no charges.

Through these overnight charges, we also allow for any corporate action resulting in funds being transferred to shareholders; exchange offers or bonus offers etc.

Therefore, in the event that a single stock you hold – therefore you are long - issues a dividend payment and you have held this position overnight, you will receive this dividend in the form of an adjustment to the SWAP. Conversely, a short position will be charged this through the overnight SWAP.

Due to the fact that you have entered into an Index CfD which consists of many underlying stocks, you may see frequent changes to the SWAP during times of corporate announcements.

Triple SWAPS are applied on Wednesday for all Stock CfDs.

Please refer to the LMFX website for the corresponding SWAP rates.
