News Trading – CFD Accounts
News trading is allowed for CFD accounts, except for the $100,000 and $200,000 accounts.
For all other CFD accounts up to $50,000, traders are permitted to open and close trades during high-impact news events using either market or pending orders.
Specifically, news trading is not permitted on $100,000 and $200,000 CFD accounts during the Challenge or Earning Phase.
The following actions are not allowed within 2 minutes before or after high-impact news releases:
-
Opening new trades
-
Having pending orders that are triggered during this restricted time
Trades that were already open before the news window may be closed during the news, whether closed manually, by stop loss, or by take profit.
Note: “Executing a trade” refers to any action that results in opening a position, including through market or pending orders.
For all other account sizes, traders may trade all CFD products during major news events without interruption.
You can find our Economic Calendar on our website, where you can filter events by impact level—low, medium, or high. For example, you can choose to view only high-impact news as indicated below.
