Throughout all evaluation phases, traders are permitted to maintain open positions during news releases and initiate trades at their discretion during high-impact red folder news events.

However, for funded accounts 1-Step Evaluation or 2-Step Evaluation, profits generated from trades executed or closed within a 3-minute window surrounding a high-impact news event will not be factored into the profit calculation.

Engaging in high-impact news trading within the specified minute window before and after the event will result in profit deductions, but will not lead to account losses. These profit deductions will be addressed upon withdrawal requests.

We utilize Forex Factory as our primary reference for high-impact news events.
