News Event Holding Policies

Updated over a month ago

After becoming an Pro Trader on a STANDARD account type, trading during high-impact market news events on a LIVE trading account is prohibited

On a trading account, you cannot open trades within 5 minutes before a high-impact market news release and 5 minutes after the news release has concluded, for a total restriction period of 10 minutes. Additionally, you cannot close any positions that were already open during this period.

To clarify: For currency pairs related to the specific news event, it is not possible to open or close trades, modify positions including updating Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP) levels, or execute any type of Limit orders during this period

If any of the above actions are performed during the 10-minute period surrounding news events, the trading history will be invalidated, profit distribution will not be possible, and the qualifying account will be closed

Trades opened more than 5 minutes before a news release can remain open during the news event period. However, if your open trade reaches its Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP) levels and automatically closes during the 10-minute restricted period (5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the news), you will receive a one-time warning. In such cases, all profits will be invalidated, and your trading account will be reset to its initial balance. Please note that losses will not be compensated

Reminder: After receiving your first warning, any subsequent violation of the news event trading rules will result in immediate account termination without any further notice
