My Funded Futures: News trading (Tier-1 restriction)
▶My Funded Futures News Trading Rule: Tier-1 Events Void Accounts — 45s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
General news trading is allowed, but trading during Tier-1 economic data releases is RESTRICTED. High-frequency trading and exploiting gap/illiquid fills are prohibited.
The gotcha
'News trading allowed' doesn't mean you can trade the NFP/CPI/FOMC print itself — doing so can void the account and confiscate profits.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
