Glossary · Prop-firm trading

News trading rule

A firm's restriction on opening or closing trades in a window around high-impact economic releases.

Windows of two to fifteen minutes either side of the release are common, and some firms apply the rule only to funded accounts, some to evaluations too, and some not at all. Breaching it can void the profit from the trade rather than end the account. It is a firm rule, and Propcockpit does not enforce it in v1.
