Tier 1 news trading is banned by forced auto-liquidation: the system market-closes all open positions 2 minutes BEFORE a Tier 1 release and reopens trading 2 minutes AFTER. Tier 1 events (CT) include FOMC (1:00 PM), CPI (7:30 AM), NFP/Employment (7:30 AM), EIA crude/natural-gas inventories and crop reports. Accidental breaches don't fail you, but abusing the policy loses the account.
The gotcha
You cannot hold through Tier 1 events even if you want to โ positions are force-closed at market 2 minutes prior.
| autoLiquidate | 2min before / reopen 2min after Tier 1 |
