STARTRADER said it will add 30 new U.S. stock and ETF CFDs (contracts for difference) to MT5 on 24 August 2026, expanding access to companies and themes spanning technology, infrastructure and innovation. The instruments will cover quantum computing, software infrastructure, space and defence, nuclear and energy, AI and semiconductors, asset management, cloud and DevOps, fintech, communications and advanced technology, alongside the DXYZ and NASA thematic ETFs. They will be offered with 1:5 leverage, trade sizes from 0.1 to 1,000 lots, and trading hours from Monday to Friday, 16:30–23:00 GMT+3. Availability will depend on account type, client classification and jurisdiction, and the instruments will not be available in all countries. The launch follows STARTRADER's announcement of more than 330 instruments in 2026, extended trading hours for selected stock and ETF instruments, and the launch of XAUUSD247, its 24/7 gold CFD. CEO Peter Karsten said the company was expanding access as industries emerge and market attention shifts. STARTRADER warned that CFDs are complex instruments carrying a high risk of rapid losses because of leverage.
