At The Funded Trader (TFT), scalping is permitted on all TFT Challenge and TFT Funded Accounts. However, we strongly advise against trading during significant macroeconomic news events due to increased market volatility.

Scalping within 2 minutes before or after news events is strictly prohibited and will be considered a violation. This applies specifically to Royal, Standard, Rapid, Dragon, and Knight challenge and funded account types. The Knight Pro challenge and funded account allows news trading.

Trading During News Events

Warning System for Violations

If scalping violations occur during the restricted times, the following actions will be taken:

1. First and Second Violations: You will receive a warning, and any profits gained from trades executed during the restricted period will be deducted. Losses will remain unchanged but will count toward the warnings.

2. Third Violation: Upon the third violation, your account will be breached, and all trading privileges will be suspended. This may also result in the cancellation of pending payouts.
