We allow traders to trade during all news releases, and there is no requirement to close positions beforehand. However, traders should practice responsible risk management if they choose to trade during these volatile market conditions.
It is important to note that placing both buy stops and sell stops on the same instrument in anticipation of a news release is considered gambling and is not allowed on the platform.
Also, we do not allow all or nothing approaches to trading and risk management, such as going "all in" on operations. This is irresponsible use of an account and is deemed high-risk and gambling.
