On funded (Master) accounts, profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before/after a high-impact 'red folder' release on the affected instrument does NOT count โ unless the trade was opened 5+ hours before the event. Deliberate news-trading can escalate to termination.
The gotcha
It's 'profit won't count,' not just a warning โ and repeated/deliberate news-spike trading is treated as a forbidden strategy. The window is per affected currency, red-folder only.
