Help CenterBoth news trading and weekend trading come with their own set of risks. News trading can lead to fast market movements and high volatility. Weekend trades are subject to overnight and weekend risks that might not exist during normal trading hours. To manage these risks, we have different rules in place for different models.
IMPORTANT:
High-impact news events and speeches are highlighted in red.
During the Evaluation Stage
There are no restrictions on holding trades during news events or over the weekend during the evaluation stage. You are free to manage your trades as you see fit.
IMPORTANT:
Purposely trading news is prohibited and will lead to account termination.
Please note that if your orders are triggered/executed within the restricted period — 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after a specific event, it may be considered a violation. The account will be deactivated.
If your stop-loss and take-profit were set in advance and within the framework of your risk management, this will not be a violation.
High impact News and Speeches
All high-impact news events are marked in red in our News Calendar. We use Forex Factory as our news calendar source. It is on this list that news will be tracked during which trading is prohibited, namely news with a red status. If any deductions result in the breach of the daily loss limit or maximum loss limit, the trader is responsible for the violation.
