During the Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the Assessment you can trade freely during all news releases.
After you pass the Assessment and are a Qualified Trader you should be careful when trading during news releases.
On our Qualified Analyst account, you are NOT allowed to execute any new trade or close an existing trade on the targeted (as per the table) instrument in the window of 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after the release of the below News announcements
To clarify, we define executing a trade as opening or closing either a pending order (including stop loss or a take profit) or market execution. You are allowed to hold your trade(s) on the targeted instrument(s) that were opened more than 2 minutes before the restricted news event.
If your Stop Gain (adjusted Stop Loss in profit territory) or Take Profit is triggered/filled during the restricted time window, 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after news events, it will be considered a violation. This will be classified as a Soft Breach, and any profits acquired will not be eligible for a Performance Fee.
Any losses incurred during news trading are the trader's responsibility and will not be removed (please refer to the 'Important Trading Terms' article for information on potential slippage when trading under high-impact news conditions).

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.
