Notes

  • News trading: unrestricted during the 1-Step / 2-Step challenge and the Flex evaluation. On Funded and Instant accounts, a 10-minute restricted window applies (5 minutes before and after high-impact releases). If a Stop-Loss or Take-Profit fires within that window, it is treated as a soft breach.
  • Overnight and weekend holding: overnight holding is prohibited on 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant. Weekend holding is prohibited by default and unlocked by the Weekend Holding Add-on. Flex allows both. Swap and rollover charges apply as normal.
