News trading is allowed during the evaluation phase of your account. You can take advantage of news events to execute trades based on your analysis while in the challenge process.
However, for Funded Accounts, specific rules apply:
For Funded Accounts: You are not permitted to open or close trades within 3 minutes before or 3 minutes after red folder (high-impact) news events. This ensures fair and responsible trading and prevents manipulation due to excessive volatility.
Profits from News Events: Any trades executed during this restricted period, or those significantly influenced by news events, will result in the removal of profits from those trades, even if no account violation occurs. This also applies to trades made with the intent to bypass the rule.
You can track red folder news events on the Forex Factory Calendar, and these events are also listed in your trader dashboard for easy reference.
Please ensure you adhere to these guidelines to maintain fair trading practices and compliance with our platform's rules.
