You cannot open, close or modify trades within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact ('red folder') Forex Factory event. Limit orders placed more than 5 minutes before the event with predefined SL & TP may remain, and positions opened earlier may be held through the event. (A Nov 2025 simplification grandfathers existing funded accounts onto the old rules.)
The gotcha
You can't even close or modify inside the ±5-minute window, so a manual exit there isn't possible.
