Can I trade High Impact/red folder news?

You are allowed to hold trades during news events and over the weekend. However, you are not allowed to open or close a trade 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after high-impact news events.
​

This rule applies to all types of trades, including manual open or close, pending orders, stop loss, and take profit orders.
​
​Note: It is important to note that all high-impact news is restricted regardless of the trading pair.

Traders are permitted to hold trades over the weekend and engage in trading activities during news events.

If your Take Profit or Stop Loss is activated or filled during the restricted time window of 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after high-impact news events, it will be considered a breach of the Equity Edge Analytics challenge.
​
This applies to all forms of orders, including manual open or close, pending orders, stop loss, and take profit orders.​
​
In case of a news rule violation, we may offer a free retry after passing the challenge.

Funded Traders are allowed to hold trades during news releases and over the weekend. On the funded account, high-impact news event trading will result in the deduction of any profits made from trades executed within the restricted 4-minute window.

This will not violate the funded account, but only the trade(s) opened or closed within the restricted 4-minute window will be reviewed, and the profits will not be counted during payout.

This applies to all forms of orders, including manual open or close, pending orders, stop loss, and take profit orders.​

If you have high-impact/red folder news at 5 pm UTC, trades cannot be opened or closed from 4:58 pm to 5:02 pm, including TP, SL, or any limit orders, buy stop/sell stop, or manually open and close
