During all evaluation phases, traders are free to maintain open positions during news events and can open new positions 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 positions 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 regulation.
We use Forex Factory as our reference for high-impact news. If the news event spans throughout the day, we use MyFxBook’s calendar as an additional reference.
Failure to comply with this rule may result in account termination.
