To access comprehensive insights on significant market-moving news events, you may refer to the following reputable resources. It's worth noting that while one platform may designate certain events as "Orange" (indicating medium impact), another platform might categorize them as "Red" (signifying high impact).
Engaging in trades that contravene our standards for achieving unrealistic fills during high-impact news events may result in the invalidation of such transactions. However, please note that this does not jeopardize the status of your account.
