Is news trading allowed in the High Stakes program?

Holding open trades over high-impact news is allowed.

However, it is not allowed to execute any order (market buy, market sell, buy stop, sell stop, buy limit, sell limit) 2 minutes prior or after to high-impact news in the related currency or index.

Any order executed 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after a red folder news event will result in a soft breach. 

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.

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. 

If you are a regular trader, evaluating risk, taking trades in line with your plan, and treating the accounts like your own personal account you have nothing to worry about…
If you are treating the account as a GET RICH QUICK account then you will need to watch that rule as we will terminate accounts that are reckless.
