What is the restricted time window around news events?

S
Written by Sharon Segal

If you purchased the Instant Funding plan, news event restrictions do not apply to your account. 🚀

However, if you purchased a 1 Step or 2 Step Challenge, trading restrictions during high impact news events do apply. ⏱️

The restricted window is 10 minutes in total, which means:

  • 5 minutes before the news release

  • 5 minutes after the news release

This rule is in place to keep trading conditions fair and consistent for everyone.

If a trader is found opening or closing positions during restricted news events, their Challenge or Funded Account may be terminated. ⚠️
This rule applies to all traders, including those with Funded Accounts.
