News Trading Policy (3-Minute Rule)

⚠️ Trading is restricted 3 minutes before and after high-impact news.

Updated over 2 months ago

News Event Restrictions

Volatility can be profitable, but it also carries significant slippage risk. While we allow you to trade the Market Open, we restrict specific high-impact news windows to maintain a fair trading environment.

The Restriction Window

You cannot execute new trades 3 minutes before and 3 minutes after a Red Folder (High Impact) news event on the affected asset.

How it works:

  • New Orders: You cannot open any new market or pending orders during this 6-minute blackout window.

  • Existing Positions: You are allowed to hold existing trades through the news, provided they were opened more than 3 minutes prior.

  • Closures: You may manually close trades to lock in profit or prevent loss at any time.

Consequence

Profits made from opening new trades during the restricted window will be deducted. Repeated violations will lead to an account review.
