📰 News Trading Policy

1) Allowed on Challenge Accounts: You’re free to trade during news events. However, please be aware that markets can become highly volatile, spreads may widen, and execution risks such as slippage can occur.

⚠️ We are not responsible for any errors, slippages, or unexpected outcomes during these periods. Trading during news is entirely at your own risk.

📢 News Trading Policy for Instant Funding Accounts

  • Strictly Prohibited: Opening new positions during major news releases is not allowed on Instant Funding accounts. Any attempt to initiate trades in this window will be treated as a violation of policy.

  • Allowed: Running trades are permitted. If you already have open positions before the news event, you may continue to hold them, there is no requirement to close existing trades.

  • Restricted Time Window:

    • 🚫 No new trades/positions may be opened 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after a scheduled major news release.

    • ✅ Existing trades may remain active throughout this period.


✨ Trader-Friendly Framing

  • Risk Protection: These rules safeguard your account from extreme volatility during news events.

  • Flexibility: You retain the freedom to manage ongoing trades without forced closures.

  • Clarity: The 30‑minute restricted window (15 minutes before + 15 minutes after) is simple and predictable, making compliance easy.
