On funded accounts, the standard programmes apply a 2 minute restriction before and after any high impact event on the ForexFactory economic calendar, during which no trades can be opened, closed, or modified. The Swing programme has no such window and is unrestricted. On the Zero programme, trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high impact event are rewarded at a reduced split rather than blocked. Across all programmes and phases, using news as a deliberate strategy to trade the release is prohibited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg,rgba(8,16,40,0.75) 0%,rgba(16,28,66,0.65) 100%);

On the funded account, news trading is not allowed within 2 minutes before or after any high-impact event on ForexFactory. No new orders, closures, or modifications are permitted during this window. Trades already open may be held but not touched.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step (Orion Lite)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during the evaluation phase with no restrictions. On the funded account, the 2 minute restriction applies around high-impact ForexFactory events. No trades can be opened, closed, or modified during the window.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Orion Standard)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during both evaluation phases. On the funded account, the same 2 minute restriction applies. Trades opened before the window may be held.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Step (Orion Prime)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed throughout all three evaluation phases. On the funded account, the 2 minute restriction applies around high-impact ForexFactory events.<\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for News Rule Violations<\/h3>\n<p>Orion Funded does not publish a specific progressive warning system for news trading violations. Any order executed during the restricted window is a violation. Consequences are not detailed publicly beyond the fact that violations of trading rules can result in account termination.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>Orion Funded applies a clean split between evaluation and funded accounts on news trading. All evaluation phases are completely unrestricted, giving traders full freedom to test and refine news-based strategies. The 2 minute funded restriction is one of the shorter windows in the industry but applies strictly to all order types including stop loss and take profit triggers. Traders with positions open near a news event must plan their entries and exits carefully to ensure nothing is executed or triggered during the window.<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<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 Orion Funded?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 14.5px; line-height: 1.7;\">News trading is fully allowed during all evaluation phases.
