Throughout all phases of our trading operations, there are no restrictions concerning news trading and holding positions over the weekend. Traders have the liberty to maintain open positions during news releases and weekends.
It is important to note that profits derived from trades initiated within 2 minutes before and after a high-impact news event on the relevant currency will not be considered. Trading during such events will result in the deduction of profits earned from trades executed within this restricted 2-minute timeframe. While this action does not constitute a violation of the trading account itself, the specific trade(s) opened within this restricted window will be closed, and the associated profits will not be factored into the overall gains.
All high-impact news events, conveniently marked in red on our News Calendar sourced from Forex Factory, are subject to these guidelines. In the event that deductions from such trades lead to a breach of the daily loss limit or maximum loss limit, the responsibility for the violation lies with the trader.
It is crucial to consider both financial instruments in a trading pair. For instance, news related to USD affects BTCUSD, and news related to both EUR and JPY affects EURJPY.
The table below illustrates the most common high-impact news events and their corresponding instruments. However, it’s important to note that this list is not exhaustive, and any high-impact news event marked in red on our calendar will be taken into account.
Summary & Examples:
News trading will not result in an account loss.
Profits from trades initiated 2 minutes before and after a high-impact news event on the relevant currency will not be considered; however, this will not lead to an account violation, as our system will automatically close these trades without penalty.
Trades opened before and closed during or after the prohibited window are permissible.
Note: All-day news events are allowed, and trades opened before the prohibited time window but closed within it will be considered.
