On the 1 Step, 2 Step, and Flex Challenge accounts, news trading is not allowed by default. Traders must purchase the News Trading add-on to unlock it. Without the add-on, trading within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event results in an account breach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 3: Table --><br \/>\nBelow is a breakdown of how the FTUK news trading rules apply across different account types and stages.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Challenge Type<\/th>\n<th>Evaluation Phase<\/th>\n<th>Funded Phase<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Instant<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Step<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Step (Flex)<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- SECTION 4: Breakdown by account type --><\/p>\n<h4>Breakdown by Account Type<\/h4>\n<h3>Instant<\/h3>\n<p>There is no evaluation phase for this account. News trading is fully allowed on the Instant funded account across all levels. No restrictions apply.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is not allowed during the evaluation or funded phase by default. Traders cannot open or close trades within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Violating this rule results in an immediate account breach. News trading can be unlocked by purchasing the News Trading add-on at checkout.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step (Flex)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is not allowed during the evaluation or funded phase by default. The same 5-minute restriction applies and a violation results in an immediate account breach. The News Trading add-on is not available for the Flex Challenge.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is not allowed during either evaluation phase or the funded phase by default. No trades may be opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Violating this rule results in an immediate account breach. News trading can be unlocked by purchasing the News Trading add-on at checkout.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Warning System --><\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for News Rule Violations<\/h3>\n<p>FTUK does not operate a warning system for news trading violations. On the 1 Step, Flex, and 2 Step accounts, trading within the 5-minute restricted window without the News Trading add-on results in an immediate account breach. There are no warnings before consequences are applied.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 6: Final comments --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>FTUK takes a clear split approach to news trading. The Instant Funding account permits it freely across all levels with no restrictions. The 1 Step, Flex, and 2 Step accounts prohibit it by default, with a hard breach on violation. Traders on these accounts who want to trade news must purchase the News Trading add-on at checkout. The Flex Challenge is the only account type where the add-on is not available, making it unsuitable for news traders. For traders who prioritise news trading without extra cost, the Instant Funding account is the appropriate choice at FTUK.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 7: Promo --><br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Learn more details and get exclusive discounts here: <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/prop-firms\/ftuk\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">FTUK Prop Firm Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(to right, #1e40af, #2563eb); padding: 10px; text-align: center; border-radius: 10px; margin-top: 20px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #fff; margin: 0; font-weight: bold; text-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\">Unlock Your Discount with FTUK<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/prop-firms\/ftuk\/\"><br \/>\n<button style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #2a3da4; padding: 10px 20px; border: none; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); font-size: 16px;\">Get Discount<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SECTION 8: FAQ --><\/p>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<h4>Is news trading allowed at FTUK?<\/h4>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed on the Instant Funding account.
