Prohibited Practices During News Events
To maintain a fair trading environment, the following actions are strictly prohibited:
Exploiting News Volatility
Using strategies like straddles or strangles to take advantage of sharp market moves during news events.
Misrepresenting Trades
Attempting to disguise news-driven trades as part of your regular trading strategy.
These rules apply to all scheduled news events.
General News Trading Guidelines
When trading during news releases, traders must adhere to the following:
Stick to Your Trading Strategy:
Continue trading in line with your regular, established methods.
Maintain Order Discipline:
Avoid placing trades solely based on anticipated news movements unless these align with your standard approach.
Note: Funded Futures Family is not liable for any issues resulting from trading during Tier 1 events.
Purpose of This Policy
This policy ensures a secure and fair trading environment by addressing the limitations of simulated accounts, which do not replicate live market conditions during news events.
By adhering to these rules, traders help maintain the integrity of Funded Futures Family's trading ecosystem.
DCA Explained: DCA involves entering a trade through multiple executions at different price points from the initial entry to build a position more strategically. While DCA is permitted, it should be used as part of a well-thought-out trading strategy. Please avoid excessive averaging—adding repeatedly to a losing position just to bring it closer to breakeven is discouraged and can undermine account growth.
Using DCA with care ensures a balanced approach to managing positions, especially in volatile markets.
