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.

Doing so may lead to the termination of the account.

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.
