Holding Trades During News and Over the Weekend

We use Forex Factory as the official source for our news calendar, and you can also access our calendar directly through your account for added convenience. High-impact news are highlighted in red, but speeches may not always be marked the same way.

• During the Evaluation Stage
  There are no restrictions on holding trades during news events or over the weekend during the evaluation stage. You are free to manage your trades as you see fit.​
  
• During the Master Account
  You can hold trades during news events and over the weekend. However, there are specific rules regarding trades opened or closed near high-impact news events.

High-Impact News Events ( Only Express Funded Stage)

You cannot open or hold positions during a 10-minute window surrounding a high-impact news event on affected currencies. This window spans 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the event.

Exception

If a trade is opened at least 5 hours prior to the news event, profits from that trade will be counted, even if the trade is closed within the restricted window.

Trading Rule Clarification

• Trades Opened More Than 5 Hours Before the News: Profits will count if closed within the 10-minute window before the event.
• Trades Opened Less Than 5 Hours Before the News: Profits will not count if closed during the 10-minute window.
• Closing any partial orders will affect the entire order, leading to a flag for news trading.
• Traders are responsible for violations if deductions exceed the daily loss or maximum loss limit.
