Can I Trade The Economic News?

In our Instant Funding Program, news trading is permitted at all stages with no restrictions.

The following rule applies to our One-Step and Two-Step programs:

If a trade is opened or closed within the specified 10-minute window, it will be considered a soft breach, and:

• Profits will be erased.
• Losses will not be compensated under any circumstance.

The 10 minute window begins exactlly 5 minutes before a major news release, and closes 5 minutes after. During this period:

• It is not permitted to open or close any trades, either manually or through stop losses, target profit orders or pending orders.
• You should refrain from trading all assets.
