Is It Possible to Trade During News Events?

Updated over 2 months ago

Yes — at Winbance, there are no restrictions on trading during major news events.

Traders are free to participate in the market during economic announcements or highly influential news without any limitations or additional rules applied to their accounts.


⚠️ Important Reminder:

While news trading is allowed, traders should be aware that economic events can cause extreme volatility, leading to rapid price movements, slippage, widened spreads, and unexpected market behavior.


Proper risk management is essential when trading around high-impact news.

Note: This rule does not apply to Livex sim accounts.Positions cannot be taken within the 5 minutes before or after a press release to avoid trading under high volatility and uncertainty. Additionally, we do not accept positions placed just minutes before this rule applies, allowing them to carry through into the news event.

If orders are placed within the time specified above, it will be considered a rule violation and the account will be closed.
