Our traders can now open, on the MT4 and MT5 platforms, 0.1 lots of the WS30 index instead of the minimum of 1 that we previously allowed.
In addition, following our strategy of continuous improvement, we have substantially narrowed the average spread of the WS30 to a target spread of 2 points during US opening hours. Commissions and swaps remain unchanged.

With the year coming to an end and Brexit coming into force on January 1st 2021, we would like to remind you that Darwinex is Brexit ready. Below are some updates for both existing and new customers. Please note that these will be relevant only in the case of a no-deal Brexit.
With the year coming to an end and Brexit coming into force on January 1st 2021, we would like to remind you that Darwinex is Brexit ready. Below are some updates for both existing and new customers. Please note that these will be relevant only in the case of a no-deal Brexit.
No-deal Brexit for existing EU customers
What changes in your relationship with FCA-regulated Darwinex in a no-deal Brexit scenario? In short: nothing, if you’re an existing customer.
Brexit doesn’t impair your right to trade with counterparties in 3rd countries outside the EU. You could trade with Australian brokers, you continue to enjoy the right to trade with UK brokers.
No-deal Brexit for new EU customers
For Darwinex, a no-deal Brexit scenario means restrictions to market to new EU customers with our FCA entity. We’ll shortly share details of our new license in the EU, which will offer identical conditions to our UK entity.
Our FCA-regulated UK entity will, in any case, continue accepting EU customers whenever reverse solicitation applies. Reverse solicitation means traders and investors approaching Darwinex on their own initiative and Darwinex not having solicited them to trade or invest.
We’ve recorded a podcast episode about Brexit and prepared a Brexit FAQ. Feel free to send to info@darwinex.com any questions you might have and we’ll answer them for everyone’s benefit!
The Darwinex Trading Schedule for the 2020 Christmas and New Year Holiday Period is already available in the calendar of Amended Darwinex Trading Hours.
Christmas is around the corner!
The Darwinex Trading Schedule for the 2020 Christmas and New Year Holiday Period is already available in the calendar of Amended Darwinex Trading Hours.
Note that during the Cristmas and New Year holiday period spreads may widen and swaps may be affected by the ‘turn’ effect. The ‘turn’ effect is a phenomenon that exists in financial markets which is caused by supply and demand for funding over key dates such as year or quarter-end. This can create anomalies in the forward curves for certain currencies, and we are already beginning to see this priced into the year-end swap points that we receive from our liquidity providers.
Further, you may want to check out what happens if you want to buy/sell a DARWIN which has underlying trades open with different opening/closing times.
As always, if you have any queries, please feel free to contact us at info@darwinex.com.
The Darwinex Team wishes you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
