News Trading Policy

To ensure fair trading conditions and protect both trader performance and firm capital during periods of extreme volatility, we enforce different news trading rules depending on the account type.
‍
Swing Accounts

Our Swing Accounts offer maximum flexibility around high-impact news:

• You may hold trades during high-impact news events.
• You can enter and exit trades freely before, during, and after major economic releases.
• This gives you the opportunity to capitalize on volatility during key market-moving moments.

Standard Accounts (One-Phase & Two-Phase)

For Standard Evaluation Accounts, stricter rules apply to maintain fairness and consistency:

• Trading during high-impact news events is not permitted.
• All open positions must be closed at least 5 minutes before the scheduled release of a major economic news event.
• No new trades may be opened within 5 minutes prior to the event.
• Trading may resume 5 minutes after the news release.

What Qualifies as High-Impact News?

We define high-impact events as those marked with a red folder on ForexFactory. These typically include:

• FOMC announcements
• CPI/Inflation reports
• NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls)
• GDP figures
• Central bank rate decisions

What Happens If You Break the Rule?

• A violation results in a soft breach of your account.
• This leads to an account reset (not a hard breach or disqualification).
• Continued violations may impact your evaluation progress or payout eligibility.

🛡️ This rule does NOT apply to Swing Accounts.

It is specifically enforced for Standard One-Phase and Two-Phase Accounts.
