News Trading Rules

News trading is allowed during all challenge phases (1 Phase, 2 Phase, GenZ Evaluations).

A restricted period is defined as:

• 4 minutes before a high-impact economic news event

• 4 minutes after the news release

A high-impact news event refers to any economic announcement or report that can significantly impact market volatility (as per the economic calendar adopted by FunderBlu).

1. Challenge Phase Accounts (1 Phase, 2 Phase, GenZ Evaluations)

• News trading is fully allowed

• No restrictions during high-impact news events

2. Funded Accounts During the restricted period, the following are not allowed:

• Opening new market or pending orders

• Triggering pending orders

• Trade execution via stop loss or take profit

• Any trade entry or exit executed within the restricted period

Example: Any execution during this time will be considered news trading and may result in a rule violation.

Trades opened before the restricted period can remain open.

However:

• If any execution (SL/TP/entry/exit) occurs during the restricted period

• It will be considered a rule violation

High-impact news events may cause:

• Price gapping

• Slippage

• Spread widening

• Execution delays

Example: FunderBlu is not responsible for losses resulting from such conditions.

Traders are responsible for:

• Monitoring the economic calendar

• Managing trades to avoid restricted-period execution (if applicable)

• Understanding and complying with these rules
