Is news trading allowed?

1 min. readlast update: 10.15.2024

News trading is not allowed during the evaluation period or the live accounts. 

We define news trading as any trade placed 10 minutes before or 10 minutes after any major high-impact news event.

If a trade is opened outside of this window you can leave the trade open and hold it through news as long as a trade has a Stop loss and takes profit in place. Manually closing or opening a trade within this window will result in a breach. If the Stop loss or Take profit is triggered during this news event this will not count as a breach

High-impact News events are classified as any "red folder” in the Forex Factory calendar. https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar/.

News trading is not allowed If a trader incurs two consecutive soft violations, they will receive two warnings. A third violation will result in the cancellation of their account. Our goal is to maintain a fair and respectful trading environment for all users. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to our guidelines.
