Definition

News trading (restriction)

Rules limiting opening/holding positions around high-impact economic releases (NFP, CPI, FOMC).

Common forms: a blocked window (e.g. ±2–5 minutes around the release), funded-only restrictions, or profit-voiding for trades executed inside the window. Some firms allow news trading outright.

The risk is mechanical: slippage through a stop during a spike can also exceed loss limits — which is why even permissive firms police it on funded accounts.
