You are allowed to hold trades during news events. However, you are not allowed to open or close a trade 8 minutes before and 8 minutes after high-impact news events.
​
The trade(s) opened or closed within the restricted 8-minute window will be reviewed, and the profits will be deducted during payout. If the value of breached trades exceeds 25% of the trader's profit share, the payout will be rejected and your profit share forfeited. Repeat offences may also lead to the termination of your account.
​

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.

If you have high-impact/red folder news at 5pm UTC, trades cannot be opened or closed from 4:52pm to 5:08pm, including TP, SL, or any limit orders, buy stop/sell stop, or manually open and close
