Unrestricted during the entire evaluation. On funded accounts you can't trade within 5 minutes before/after major news; profit on a violating trade is deducted (a SOFT breach — the account isn't killed), and losses aren't compensated. A trade opened ≥48 hours before the event is exempt.
The gotcha
The restriction flips ON only after funding — easy to forget when the evaluation had none.
Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
