CME Protocol combines multiple calendar days into a single trading day around holidays. CME Protocol applies to certain account types. 

CME Protocol = YES: Holiday periods (e.g., Sunday open through Tuesday close) count as a single trading day.

So if you hit your Daily Loss Limit on Monday before an early closure, you'll be unlocked at the start of the next session after the holiday trade date.

CME Protocol = NO: Each calendar day is counted separately, and P&amp;L and drawdowns reset at the end of each day.

👉 Please note: Payouts are not available during holiday hours.

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
