Currently the new instruments are available for Self-Trading accounts only. New CFD instruments can be added using the instrument selector in the trading platform.

Dukascopy Bank is pleased to announce the release of the next generation of its web platform – JForex Web 3 with higher performance, improved user experience and no Java requirements.

The new web platform’s interface is now characterized by its maximum resemblance to JForex 3 platform. This is meant to provide an easier adjustment for those clients already familiar with JForex. The new outlook will generally facilitate the design integrity and recognisability of Dukascopy platforms.

The new JForex Web 3 platform features 46 trading indicators, it offers chart trading, workspace saving on JCloud as well as live market news and calendars. Also, the platform is much better adapted to work with a large number and types of trading instruments, which currently includes FX, precious metals, CFDs on indices, commodities and single stocks.

The all-new web platform is now being released for testing on Demo environment and is planned to be soon moved to Live while gradually replacing the existing web platform. 

We would like to draw your attention to the possible impact of the upcoming U.K General Election on the liquidity in the FX Market.

It is possible that the outcome will significantly reduce liquidity and increase price volatility. It is for these reasons that Dukascopy Bank and Dukascopy Europe will temporarily reduce maximum exposure in GBP related FX instruments to 5 million in primary currency and for GBR.IDX to 10 contracts. Any client that is currently holding exposures that exceed these maximums may maintain, but not increase them.

These restrictions are expected to remain in force until market closure on Friday 9 June.
