During all evaluation phases, trading during news is fully permitted.

You may:

• Hold positions through news releases
• Open new positions during high impact red folder events

There are no news trading restrictions during the evaluation stage.

Trading during news is also permitted on funded accounts.

However, certain practices are not allowed.

Opening opposing positions on the same instrument during a news release in order to capture volatility in both directions is prohibited.

This includes:

• Simultaneously opening buy and sell positions on the same asset during a high impact release
• Structured straddle strategies designed specifically to exploit spread expansion or slippage

All funded accounts are subject to review at the time of withdrawal.

If prohibited hedging or news straddle activity is identified:

• The payout request will be rejected
• The account may be subject to further review
• Additional action may be taken in line with the Traderscale Terms and Risk Management Rules

Traderscale allows discretionary news trading. However, strategies designed to exploit execution mechanics, spread widening, or artificial volatility rather than genuine market direction are not permitted.

If you are unsure whether your strategy complies with our rules, please contact support before trading high impact events.
