Trading around high-impact news on a funded account
High-impact releases move price fast and widen spreads. Here is how URFX handles news and how to plan around it.
The window
On URFX programs, trades are not allowed within one minute either side of a high-impact release. The news calendar in your dashboard flags every one in advance.
Plan the day around the calendar
Check the calendar before the session. If a major release lands mid-trade, decide in advance whether to close, reduce or hold with a protective stop.
Holding through news
Positions opened well before the window can stay open, but spreads and gaps can hit your daily loss. Size down when a big release is on the schedule.
