By continuing to hold trades during a major news event, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks involved. These risks include slippage, market gaps, delayed executions, and increased volatility. Top One Trader is not liable for any losses incurred due to slippage caused by news events.

For traders with Instant Funding Accounts, news trading restrictions apply. These rules help maintain stability and protect capital during periods of high market volatility.

For Instant Funding traders, it is prohibited to execute or close any trades 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high-impact news event. These actions include:

You are, however, allowed to hold trades that were opened more than 5 minutes before the restricted window. Be cautious, though: if your stop loss or take profit is triggered during the restricted window, it will be considered a violation. Any profits made from such trades will be deducted and will not be eligible for withdrawal.

Note: Violating the news trading rules is classified as a soft breach, meaning your account will remain open, but profits may be affected.

(5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high-impact news event)

Swing traders and intraday traders who have positions open for more than 1 hour before the news event may still have their take profit validated if it is triggered within 5 minutes after the event.

Only high-impact news events that directly correlate with the trading pairs you are trading are restricted. You are free to trade during low- or medium-impact news events or during events that do not directly affect your trading pairs.

The following high-impact news events affect all trading instruments:

By understanding and adhering to these news trading restrictions, you can manage your Instant Funding Account effectively while minimizing risk during periods of high market volatility.
