During our evaluation stage, there are no restrictions on news trading or holding trades over the weekend. However, on the Funded Account, you are permitted to hold trades during news events and over the weekend.

Trades may be held during news events and over the weekend. Profits from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before and after high-impact news events or speeches on the relevant currency will not be counted on the Funded Account unless the trade was executed at least 5 hours before the event. This rule applies to all types of trade execution, including manual trades, pending orders, stop losses, and take-profit orders. During speeches, the restricted window extends from 5 minutes before the speech until 5 minutes after it concludes.

High-Impact News and Speeches
Profits from trades made during the restricted 10-minute window around high-impact news events will be deducted.

Our news calendar flags all high-impact events in red, though speeches may not always appear as such. We use Forex Factory as our source for the news calendar. If any deductions breach the daily or maximum loss limits, the trader is responsible for the violation.

Closing any partial orders will affect the entire order, resulting in a flag for news trading.
