Market Rollover

Updated over a week ago

What Is Market Rollover?

Market rollover refers to the one hour period when trading sessions transition and liquidity temporarily reduces.

At Traderscale, the new trading day begins at 5pm EDT.

This is also when your daily drawdown resets.


What Happens During Rollover?

During this period:

• Spreads can widen significantly
• Liquidity may be reduced
• Volatility can increase unexpectedly

As a result, stop loss and take profit levels may experience slippage and may not be executed at the exact requested price.


Risk Management Guidance

Traderscale strongly recommends that you:

• Close positions before rollover
or
• Ensure sufficient buffer in your stop loss to accommodate spread expansion

Holding positions through rollover increases exposure to spread volatility and may impact your drawdown limits.


Important Reminder

Your daily drawdown resets at 5pm EDT.

However, any open positions carried into the new trading day remain subject to maximum drawdown rules at all times.

Traders should plan accordingly to manage rollover risk effectively.
