You're allowed to trade during news events in both the Challenge and the Funded Account. However, when trading on a Funded Account during high-impact news events, only 40% of the profit from these profitable trades will be counted toward the account balance.
Challenge Accounts are not subject to this rule.
High-Impact news events as indicated by a red folder on ForexFactory.com and myfxbook.com.
Time Window: Trades executed 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a listed high-impact news event (a total 10-minute window) will be subject to this rule.
Applicable Trade Types: This rule applies to both Market Execution (Opening/Closing) and Pending Orders (including Take Profit and Stop Loss).
Loss Responsibility: Any losses incurred during this period remain the trader’s responsibility and will not be removed.
Partial Order Closure: If a trader closes a portion of an order, the entire order will be affected, and only 40% of the profit from the profitable trade will be counted.
