What is The5ers's news trading rule?

You may HOLD existing trades through news on all programs, but you cannot open or close orders from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after a high-impact release. Watch out: Asymmetric: profits made in the ±2-minute window are deducted and don't count, but losses are absorbed by you. Bracketing news with buy-stop + sell-stop orders is separately forbidden.
