+ Direct, Standard, and Zero Qualified Accounts
You may hold through news releases following your trading plan, but no orders may be executed within 2 minutes before or 2 minutes after high impact news events.
Here at Alpha Futures we refer to the Calendar on ForexFactory. Any events related to the asset you are trading (USD for /ES, NQ, /GC, /CL for example) with a red folder is considered high impact and this rule applies.
Speeches
The high impact speeches will be marked in Forex Factory with a red folder, just like other High Impact Events. The 4 minute window only applies to the start time listed of the speech event, not its entirety.
If you violate this policy, your profits on the trade within the 4 minute window will be void, your payout will be denied, and you will have to wait until the next eligible payout date to request again. We understand people make mistakes, the first time violating this rule will only be a warning, and trader will be able to keep their account. Subsequent violations after warning will lead to breach of the account.
