News trading is unrestricted during the evaluation phase on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex. Daily Payouts applies the 2 minute buffer in both phases. On all funded accounts a 2 minute buffer applies around high impact news events, with no opening, closing or triggering of pending orders within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled release.
No time limit to pass the evaluation on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Daily Payouts.
