The Funded Trader

We do not allow news trading any challenges or funded accounts.

___________________________________________________________

We have news restrictions for 2 minutes before and after the release of a red folder event - this includes the opening/closing of market orders, and any take profit or stop losses that are triggered within this 4-minute window. 

This rule applies to all instruments available on our simulated platform.

The violation process is as follows:

You will be issued a maximum of 2 warnings (soft breaches) - both of which will result in the deduction of any simulated profits made from trades executed within the restricted 4-minute window. On the third violation, the simulated account will be breached entirely.

In the event any deductions result in the breach of the daily or maximum loss limit, the trader is responsible for the violation.
