New Trading Conditions for France 40 Index CFD

Dear traders!We'd like to inform you that due to a short selling restriction put in place by French regulators, our France 40 Equity Index CFD has changed. On the MT4 platform it is set to closing positions only and on the MT5 platform it is now set to long positions only, meaning you can close positions and open buy positions, until further notice.Please consider these changes when planning your trading activities and ensure you have enough funds in your account to maintain your positions.Furthermore, due to the impact COVID-19 has had on the availability of physical gold in the market, this has reduced liquidity.
