Holding trades through high-impact news is allowed however we have a restricted 4 minute window in which no trades can be opened or closed
If you open or close a trade during the restricted time window of 2 minutes before/or until 2 minutes after, it will be considered as a breach on the Equity Edge Analytics challenge.
For example; if there is high impact news at 13:30 and you open a trade at 13:28:30 and close the trade at 13:33:00, this will still be considered a breach as the trade was opened 1 min 30 seconds before high impact news.
