News trading is allowed on the funded account. Bracketing, placing both a BUY STOP and SELL STOP simultaneously around a news event, is prohibited. Aside from this restriction, traders can hold and execute trades freely during news.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step (Pro Growth)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is allowed during both the evaluation and funded phase. Bracketing strategies around news events are not permitted. Outside of this restriction, there are no specific timing windows that block order execution.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (High Stakes)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is not allowed during either evaluation phase or the funded phase. No new orders, market or pending, can be executed within 2 minutes before or after a high-impact news event. Trades opened more than 2 minutes before the event may remain open and are allowed to hit stop loss or take profit during the restricted window. Any profit generated from a violating order is deducted from the account.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Step (Bootcamp)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is allowed across all three evaluation phases and the funded phase. Bracketing strategies around news events are prohibited. There is no fixed timing window restriction outside of this rule.<br \/>\n<!-- Warning System --><\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for News Rule Violations<\/h3>\n<p>On Hyper Growth, Pro Growth, and Bootcamp, The5ers does not operate a progressive warning system for news trading. Using a bracketing strategy around news is treated as reckless trading and can result in account termination if identified.<br \/>\nOn High Stakes, there is no warning system either. Any profit generated from an order executed within the 2 minute restricted window is deducted and does not count toward the trader&#8217;s target. Losses incurred during this window are absorbed by the trader. The5ers states that accounts trading recklessly around this rule, rather than as part of a normal risk-managed strategy, may be terminated.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 6: Final comments --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>The5ers takes a measured approach to news trading. Most programs allow it freely with the only restriction being a ban on bracketing strategies, which The5ers considers a form of exploiting news volatility rather than genuine trading. High Stakes applies a stricter and more specific rule with its 2 minute execution window, designed to filter out trades that only appear profitable due to slippage during high-impact events rather than genuine market analysis. Traders who treat their accounts with normal risk management have little to worry about across any program.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 7: Promo --><br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Learn more details and compare prop firm discounts here: <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Propvator.com<\/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;\">Find the Best Prop Firm Deals on Propvator<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/\"><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;\">Compare Prop Firms<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SECTION 8: FAQ --><\/p>\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 The5ers?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 14.5px; line-height: 1.7;\">It depends on the program.
