On the funded account, news trading is not allowed. No trades may be opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Profits from trades within the restricted window will be deducted without an account breach.<\/p>\n<h3>Instant Pro<\/h3>\n<p>There is no evaluation phase for this account. On the funded account, the same 5-minute restriction applies. Traders cannot execute trades within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Profits from violating trades will be deducted, not the account status.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step (Fast)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during the evaluation phase. On the funded account, no trades may be opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Profits from trades opened within this window will be deducted. Trades opened at least 5 minutes before the event and closed within the window are still recognised.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step Static (Fast Static)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during the evaluation phase. On the funded account, the same 5-minute restriction applies. Profits from trades within the restricted window will be deducted without an account breach.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Classic)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during both evaluation phases. On the funded account, no trades may be opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Profits from trades within the window will be deducted.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Step (Strike)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during all three evaluation phases. On the funded account, the 5-minute restriction applies. Profits from trades that fall within the restricted window will be deducted without an account breach.<\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for News Rule Violations<\/h3>\n<p>For Traders does not use a progressive warning system for news trading violations. On all funded forex accounts, profits from trades that fall within the 5-minute restricted window are deducted without any account breach. There are no warnings, strikes, or escalating consequences, only profit deduction on the offending trades.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>For Traders applies a consistent news trading restriction across all funded forex accounts. Evaluation phases are unrestricted, giving traders full flexibility during the challenge. On funded accounts, the 5-minute window applies uniformly regardless of the account type. The profit deduction approach rather than an account breach makes this one of the more forgiving enforcement structures among prop firms. Traders who open positions well before a news release and hold through it are still protected, provided the trade was not opened within the restricted window.<br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Learn more details and get exclusive discounts here: <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/for-traders\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">For Traders Prop Firm Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(37,99,235,0.7) 0%, rgba(96,165,250,0.55) 55%, rgba(203,213,225,0.45) 100%); border-radius: 16px; padding: 1px; margin-top: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(160deg, #0a0f22 0%, #0e1a3d 100%); border-radius: 15px; padding: 26px 22px; text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 22px; color: #ffffff; margin: 0 0 16px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.01em;\">Unlock Your Discount with For Traders<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/for-traders\/\"><br \/>\n<button style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #1d4ed8 0%, #3b82f6 100%); color: #ffffff; padding: 12px 26px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; box-shadow: 0 4px 18px rgba(37,99,235,0.5); font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.02em;\">Get Discount<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(10,14,34,0.55); border: 1px solid rgba(37,99,235,0.22); border-radius: 14px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 14px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 16px; color: #ffffff;\">Is news trading allowed at For Traders?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 14.5px; line-height: 1.7;\">It depends on the phase.
