What Are the News Trading Restrictions?

Written by Shreya

News trading is restricted, but not completely prohibited on Investabl. The following rules apply during the 5-minute news window and apply to both the Evaluation and Funded phases.

Opening Trades During the News Window

You may open new trades during the 5-minute news window. However, any profit generated from trades opened during this window will not count.

Closing Trades During the News Window

If a position is closed during the 5-minute news window, any profit generated during that window will not count.

This applies to both:

  • Manual trade closures

  • Automatic Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP) triggers

Swing Trader Exception

Trades that were opened at least 5 hours before the news window are exempt from this restriction.

Profits from these existing trades will count normally, even if the trade is closed during the news window.
