News Trading Rules

Disclaimer

By trading during major news events, you acknowledge the risks involved. These risks include slippage, market gaps, delayed executions, and increased volatility.

Top One Trader is not responsible for losses caused by slippage during news events.


Challenge Accounts

During all challenge phases, you may trade news freely. There are no time restrictions around high impact news events.


Funded Accounts

Funded accounts must follow a restricted news window. You may not execute or close any trade within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high impact news event.

The total restricted window is 10 minutes.


What counts as executing a trade

Executing a trade includes:

• Opening a market order

• Closing a market order

• Opening or closing any pending order

• Modifying a stop loss or take profit

• Placing buy stop or sell stop orders

These actions are not allowed inside the restricted window.


Holding trades during news

You may hold trades during a news event if the position was opened more than 5 minutes before the restricted window.

However:

• If a stop loss or take profit is triggered inside the window, the trade becomes a violation

• Any profit from that trade will be removed and cannot be withdrawn

This counts as a soft breach. Repeated violations may lead to termination of the account.


Exception

If a trade has been open for at least 5 hours before the news event, its stop loss or take profit may activate during the restricted window without causing a violation.

Manual closing inside the window is still prohibited.


High impact news events

Only high impact news events that directly affect the trading pair are restricted.

Low or medium impact news does not apply.

All major United States high impact events affect all trading instruments. Examples include:

• Federal Reserve interest rate decisions

• FOMC statements and meetings

• Non farm payrolls

• United States CPI

• Any other high impact US news

If the event is marked as high impact on FXStreet or RebateFX, it falls under the rule
