FAQs Can I trade news?

During the evaluation phases of the program you can trade freely during all news releases.

After you pass the Evaluation and are a Funded Trader you should be careful when trading during news releases.

Only our Funded Traders are NOT allowed to execute any new trade or close an existing trade in the window of 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after the release of the below High Impact News announcements

To clarify, we define executing a trade as opening or closing either a pending order (including stop loss or a take profit) or market execution. You are allowed to hold your trade(s) on the targeted instrument(s) that were opened more than 5 minutes before the restricted news event.

Be reminded that if your Stop Loss or Take Profit is activated/filled during the restricted time window of 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after, it will be taken as a violation, this will be identified as a hard breach.
