Please note that during the holiday period, market liquidity is typically lower than usual, which may result in wider spreads, increased volatility, delayed execution, and potential price gaps.

Clients are strongly advised to monitor open positions carefully, manage margin usage prudently, and adjust risk exposure accordingly to help avoid unexpected losses.
