News Trading

Important Trading News: (ONLY FOR SIMULATED FUNDED ACCOUNTS, does not apply in phases 1 and 2 of the tests)

In funded accounts, it is not permitted to execute new trades or close existing trades on instruments affected by red folder macroeconomic events within an 8-minute window period (4 minutes before the news and 4 minutes after the news).

This refers to manual or automated execution of trades within a specific 8-minute window, starting four minutes before and ending four minutes after a major news event (see list of events).

Any profits made during this window may be deducted from your account. In rare cases, it may be necessary to reset the account.

This rule only affects instruments related to the event (e.g., news about the EUR does not prevent you from trading XAU/USD).

Furthermore, this rule does not prevent you from opening a trade before the 8-minute window, holding it during the period, and closing the trade after this window. The rule does not apply to phases one and two of all our challenges. This rule only applies to simulated funded accounts.
