[Instant] News Trading & Add-Ons Explained

Updated today

News trading and News holding on the Instant Funded Account is restricted by default.

News Trading

Opening a trade within 2 minutes before or after a major news release is considered news trading.

News Holding

Holding a position that was opened more than 2 minutes before a major news release is considered news holding.

News trading is only allowed if the Swing Account Add-On is enabled.

When you purchase the Swing Account Add-On:

  • News trading is permitted

  • Leverage is reduced to the following values:
    ​
    - Forex: 1:20
    - Indices : 1:5
    - Commodities : 1:5
    - Crypto : 1:1

Trading restricted news events without the add-on results in an account violation, regardless of profit or loss.
