Is news trading allowed?

Updated today

News Trading Profit Cap

We allow trading during high-impact news events. However, profits generated specifically during these periods are capped at a fixed percentage of your account balance per payout cycle.

While news trading is now allowed, the cap still applies to trades opened or closed within the 5 minute window before and after red folder (high-impact). This also applies to FOMC speeches, statements, and related events.

This allows traders to participate in news volatility while maintaining fair and sustainable risk management across the platform.

(this applies to all trading accounts opened after 27th April 2026)


What is the cap percentage?

0.5% of account starting balance.

How does the cap work?

Any profit made during defined news events is tracked separately. At the end of the payout cycle:

  • You keep profits up to the cap

  • Any profit above the cap is removed

  • There are no penalties, violations, or breaches applied

Example: $100,000 account

0.5% cap β†’ Max news profit = $500

What happens if I exceed the cap?

Example:

Account size: $100,000

Profit made during news: $1,000

0.5% cap β†’ You receive $500

The remaining profit is removed


Accounts Purchased Before 27/04/2026 remain subject to the previous news trading rules.
