## The rule times, in UAE time

The UAE does not change its clocks; New York and Chicago do, so a rule set in New York time lands an hour later in the UAE in winter. The rules themselves are the ones published on the plan pages.

| What | Set in | UAE time, mid-March to early November | UAE time, early November to mid-March |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| The trading day ends (daily loss, profitable days) | 17:00 New York | 01:00 (next day) | 02:00 (next day) |
| CFD positions closed on Friday, without Weekend Holding | 4:45 PM New York, Friday | 00:45 Saturday | 01:45 Saturday |
| Thin-liquidity window, every night (CFDs) | 21:00:00 to 22:59:59 UTC | 01:00:00 to 02:59:59 | 01:00:00 to 02:59:59 |
| Futures positions closed, every session | 3:55 PM Chicago | 00:55 (next day) | 01:55 (next day) |
| Most US data releases (NFP, CPI) | 8:30 AM New York | 16:30 | 17:30 |
| US stock market open | 9:30 AM New York | 17:30 | 18:30 |

## WhitePips in the UAE: questions

**Does WhitePips accept traders in the UAE?**

Yes. The United Arab Emirates is not among the restricted jurisdictions; the full list, and the sanctions rules that apply, are in the Restricted Jurisdictions policy. Identity is checked before any payout.

**Is WhitePips regulated in the UAE?**

No. WhitePips is not a broker and is not regulated by a financial services regulator, in the UAE or elsewhere. Its accounts are simulated: you pay a one-time fee for an evaluation or an instant account, never deposit trading funds, and payouts are paid as real money under the Payout Policy.

**Is prop trading legal in the UAE?**

WhitePips does not give legal or tax advice, and the answer for you depends on your own circumstances. What WhitePips publishes is what it does: simulated accounts, published rules and prices, identity checks before payouts, and the restricted list. If you are unsure, ask a local adviser before you buy.

**When does the trading day reset in Dubai time?**

At 17:00 New York, which is 01:00 in the UAE from mid-March to early November and 02:00 in winter. The daily loss limit is measured from that point, and a profitable day is counted from 17:00 to 17:00 New York.

**When do I have to close CFD trades on Friday, in UAE time?**

Without the Weekend Holding add-on, positions still open at 4:45 PM New York on Friday are closed by the system: 00:45 on Saturday morning in the UAE from mid-March to early November, 01:45 in winter. The first time is a warning and the second closes the account.

**Is there a swap-free option?**

Yes. The Swap-Free add-on, bought with a CFD account on any plan, removes the overnight swap, including the triple swap on Wednesday, and nothing else: it does not allow weekend holding, which is the separate Weekend Holding add-on. Every other rule applies as published.

**How are payouts paid to a trader in the UAE?**

By bank transfer to an account in your own name, or in USDT, USDC, BTC or ETH to your own wallet, or as store credit. Every request gets an automatic receipt and is paid by the method on file.

**Is the site in Arabic?**

Yes. The main pages, the plans and the policies are in Arabic at whitepips.com/ar/, and the dashboard can be switched to Arabic.

WhitePips provides skill-based trading evaluations on simulated accounts; payouts are real money based on simulated performance. Nothing here is financial advice or a promise of profit, passing an evaluation does not guarantee funding, payouts or income, and trading leveraged products carries significant risk. Not offered in the restricted jurisdictions listed at https://whitepips.com/legal/restricted-jurisdictions.
