High volatility due to 2022 United States Senate elections

Dear Traders, we inform you that the publication of the results of the US Senate elections of 2022, which will take place on 08.11.2022, will be an important event and may cause extreme volatility in the market, including:

• A sharp decrease in liquidity;
• Increase in spreads;
• Significant price gap;
• Slippage during the execution of orders.

Please note that there is a high probability of increased volatility on this day and during subsequent trading sessions, which is likely to affect many assets related to the US dollar, such as currencies, stocks, indices, oil and metals.

In this regard, the company Alpari may, as a precautionary measure, apply the following temporary measures with respect to these instruments:

• Switch trading to the "closing only" mode;
• Increase spreads;
• Introduce restrictions on trading operations.

We strongly recommend that you take these risks into account when planning your trading strategy and monitor the maintenance of sufficient funds in your account to cover open positions.

This also applies to hedged positions, which, if the spread increases, can be closed as a result of a stop-out.
