Help CenterFor Instant Funding (Hyper-Growth) and Bootcamp: News trading is allowed except for bracket strategies around news.
Bracketing is when you are adding both BUY STOP & SELL STOP at the same time in the news. Meaning if 1 side is hit then you entered in and when the other is hit then you are also entering the market.
For High Stakes: Holding open trades over the news is allowed on all of our programs, but we do have some limitations on orders being executed during the news. Executing orders 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news is prohibited.
Any profits made at this time will be deducted from the account and won't go towards your target. Losses will be absorbed by you.
Example: US CPI is getting announced at 15:30 GMT+2
You can't have a new order being executed between 15:28 - 15:32
Why? Because given the speed and slippage of the movements during high-impact news, these kinds of trades do not make money in the real market, although you may see a profit on your side.
