Can I Trade During High-Impact News Events?

Yes, trading during high-impact news events is allowed, as long as it remains part of a coherent trading strategy and does not resemble gambling behavior.

Yes, you are allowed to trade during high-impact news releases (NFP, FOMC, CPI, etc.) on MILTRADERS. However, your trades must always reflect a coherent trading strategy.

Opening large positions purely to gamble on news volatility, without a clear technical or fundamental rationale, is considered gambling behavior and is not permitted. As long as your news trading fits within your overall strategy and risk management, it is fully allowed.

If our risk monitoring system detects patterns consistent with pure news gambling (e.g., repeated max-size positions opened seconds before a major release with no other trading activity), your account may be flagged for review.
