During all evaluation phases, traders are free to keep trades open during news and can open new trades at any time, even during high-impact news events (three bulls).
However, once a funded account is obtained, it is strictly prohibited to trade during high-impact news events. Traders cannot open or close trades from 10 minutes before to 10 minutes after a high-impact news event. This rule applies exclusively to news related to the currency pairs being traded. For example, if a trader is trading EUR/USD, only news related to the Euro and the Dollar will be subject to this rule.
We use Forex Factory as our reference for high-impact news. In case the news spans the entire day, we use MyFxBook as an additional reference.
Violation of this rule may result in account termination.
