How to check current restricted news
To view which news events are currently restricted, go to your FunderPro Futures Dashboard and open the Economic Calendar tab.
There, you'll find a list of High Impact News events that may affect your trading schedule.
⚠️ Important Note
We restrict trading 2 minutes before and after any High Impact News event. For Swing Accounts, positions opened more than 2 minutes before the news release may remain open, but opening new trades during the restricted window is prohibited.
✅ You can keep positions open during the news if they were opened before the restricted window.
❌ You cannot open or close positions within the restricted 2-minute window before and after the event.
This rule is in place to promote fair execution and effective risk management.
FAQs for Common Scenarios
Can I close a trade in under one minute?
Yes, closing trades in under one minute is allowed and does not violate any rules.
What happens if I trade during a major news event?
You must adhere to the '2-minute rule' by closing all open positions and avoiding new trades within the restricted window. Swing Account holders may hold positions opened earlier but cannot open new trades during the restricted period.
Additional Guidelines
Trading Day Definition: Any day where you open and close at least one trade counts as a trading day.
Responsible Trading Practices
FunderPro encourages traders to avoid placing extremely brief trades solely to meet the minimum trading day requirement. Such behavior may be considered reckless or akin to gambling. Always aim to trade consistently and responsibly.
