Is News Trading Allowed in the High Stakes Program?

last update: August 10, 2026

Holding open trades over high-impact news is allowed.

However, it is not allowed to execute any order (market buy, market sell, buy stop, sell stop, buy limit, sell limit) 2 minutes prior, after or within to high-impact news in the related currency or index. We refer to Forex Factory and we follow the server time.

Any trade opened within the 2-minute period before or after a high-impact (red folder) news event will be classified as a soft breach.

Any profits made at this time will be deducted from the account and won’t go towards your target. Losses will be absorbed by you.

This rule applies exclusively to opening new positions (including market orders and entry pending orders). It does not eliminate the risk of existing trades hitting pre-set Stop Loss or Take Profit orders during news events.
