Trading rules

News bracketing

Opposing orders intended to capture either direction of a news release are prohibited on Pro. Directional news trading remains allowed.

News bracketing is prohibited

Do not place opposing pending orders around the price to catch either direction of a news release. Other applicable hedging and conduct rules remain in force.

Directional news trading

Directional news trading is allowed on Pro. There is no five-minute news-entry restriction on Pro. Normal risk and trading rules still apply.

Example

Placing a buy stop above the price and a sell stop below it solely to capture either direction of a release is a prohibited bracket. A single directional order is not that structure.
