Futures Prime accounts are fully unrestricted. CFD Classic accounts on all sizes and CFD Prime accounts on the $100,000 and $200,000 tiers are restricted. On restricted CFD accounts, no trades may be opened and no pending orders may be triggered within 2 minutes before or after a high-impact news event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">The restriction on CFD Prime explicitly names only the $100,000 and $200,000 account sizes. Smaller CFD Prime accounts are not explicitly listed in the restriction. Futures accounts are fully exempt from any news trading restriction at The Trading Pit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Below is a breakdown of how The Trading Pit 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>2 Step CFD (Classic)<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step CFD (Prime)<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step Futures (Prime)<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4>Breakdown by Account Type<\/h4>\n<h3>2 Step CFD (Classic)<\/h3>\n<p>The Trading Pit CFD Classic is a standard two-phase evaluation challenge. News trading is restricted across all account sizes on this programme. No trades may be opened and no pending orders may be triggered within 2 minutes before or after a high-impact news event during both the challenge and earning phases. Positions that are already open before the 2-minute window may remain open; the restriction applies to opening new trades or triggering pending orders. The restriction applies on all CFD Classic account sizes.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step CFD (Prime)<\/h3>\n<p>The Trading Pit CFD Prime challenge is the premium CFD programme. The news trading restriction applies to the $100,000 and $200,000 account sizes in both the challenge and earning phases. The restriction is identical to the Classic rule: no trades may be opened and no pending orders may be triggered within 2 minutes before or after a high-impact event. The official rule states the restriction applies specifically to &#8220;$100,000 and $200,000 CFD Accounts.&#8221; Smaller CFD Prime account sizes are not explicitly named in the restriction.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step Futures (Prime)<\/h3>\n<p>The Trading Pit Futures Prime programme is fully unrestricted for news trading. The firm explicitly states that news trading is permitted on Futures Prime accounts. Traders on Futures Prime can open and close positions freely around any high-impact event throughout the challenge and earning phases with no restricted window and no prohibited events. Futures traders seeking an unrestricted news trading environment can choose this programme specifically.<\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for News Rule Violations<\/h3>\n<p>The Trading Pit does not provide explicit details on the breach severity classification for news trading violations, but violations of the 2-minute window on restricted CFD accounts constitute a breach of trading rules. Opening a trade or triggering a pending order within the window is the action that triggers a violation. Holding an already-open position through a news event is permitted on all accounts. Traders on restricted CFD accounts should cancel pending orders before the 2-minute window begins to avoid inadvertent violations from triggered stops or limits.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>The Trading Pit news trading policy creates a clear product split. Futures Prime is the unrestricted option for news traders. CFD traders face a 2-minute window that applies in challenge and earning phases.<\/p>\n<p>The distinction on CFD Prime between account sizes is notable. The $100,000 and $200,000 sizes are explicitly restricted. Traders considering CFD Prime at smaller account sizes should review the current terms directly with The Trading Pit, as the official rule language specifically names only those two sizes. Futures Prime traders face no such complexity: the programme is entirely unrestricted.<\/p>\n<p>The holding rule is also relevant: positions already open before the 2-minute window begins are allowed to remain open and close naturally. Only the act of opening a new trade or triggering a pending order during the window creates a violation.<\/p>\n<p>\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(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);\">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-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;\">Compare Prop Firms<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<h4>Is The Trading Pit news trading allowed?<\/h4>\n<p>It depends on the account type. Futures Prime accounts are fully unrestricted for news trading. CFD Classic accounts and CFD Prime $100,000 and $200,000 accounts are restricted to a 2-minute window around high-impact events.<\/p>\n<h4>What is the restricted window at The Trading Pit?<\/h4>\n<p>The restricted window on CFD accounts is 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after each high-impact news event. During this 4-minute total window, no new trades may be opened and no pending orders may be triggered. Already-open positions may remain open through the window.<\/p>\n<h4>Can I trade news on The Trading Pit Futures Prime account?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. The Trading Pit Futures Prime account is fully unrestricted for news trading. Traders can open and close positions freely around any high-impact event with no restricted window and no prohibited releases.<\/p>\n<h4>Does the news restriction apply during the challenge phase?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. The 2-minute news restriction on restricted CFD accounts applies during both the challenge (evaluation) phase and the earning (funded) phase.<\/p>\n<h4>Can I hold open positions through news events at The Trading Pit?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. The restriction only prohibits opening new trades and triggering pending orders within the 2-minute window. Positions that were already open before the window begins can remain open. Closing an open position during the window would technically constitute an exit during the restricted period, so traders should review current terms and when in doubt close before the window begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View news trading rules for other forex prop firms Select a firm&#8230;Alpha CapitalAlpha FundedAquaFundedAtlas FundedAtmos FundedAudacity CapitalBEM FundingBlueberry FundedBlue GuardianBrightFundedCity Traders ImperiumDNA FundedE8 MarketsEquity EdgeFintokeiFinotive FundingFor TradersFFFFTMOFTUKFundedEliteFundedNextFTPFunderProFunding PipsFunding TradersFXIFYGFTHantec TraderHola PrimeIC FundediFundsInstant FundingLark FundingLux Trading FirmMaven TradingMent FundingOrion FundedPipFarmQT FundedRebelsFundingThe5ersThinkCapitalTop One Trader The Trading Pit News Trading Rule The Simple Answer The Trading Pit news [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-prop-firm-reviews"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1571,"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1565\/revisions\/1571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propvator.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
