Is News Trading Allowed?

Updated over a week ago
  • Phase 1 & Phase 2: News trading is fully allowed. Traders may open or close positions freely around any economic event.

  • Funded Accounts: Trading is restricted within a 10 min window specifically, 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after any high impact (red-folder) news release.

How Restrictions Apply:

  • If the news affects a specific currency (e.g., EUR or GBP), you may still trade other unrelated pairs (for example, USD, JPY, or Gold).

  • However, during the following major events, trading is restricted across all assets:

    • NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls)

    • CPI (Consumer Price Index)

    • FOMC Statements or Rate Decisions

Violating this rule results in profit removal from affected trades and a Soft Breach.
After two Soft Breaches, the account is terminated for non compliance.
