While evaluation phases permit news trading freely, once a trader reaches the funded stage, restrictions apply across all account types. The Instant (Zero) account has a stricter 10-minute window, while all other funded accounts enforce a 5-minute restriction before and after high-impact news events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 3: Table --><br \/>\nBelow is a breakdown of how the Funding Pips 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 (Zero)<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Step<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step (Pro)<\/td>\n<td>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 (Zero)<\/h3>\n<p>There is no evaluation phase for this account. On the funded account, news trading is not allowed. No trades can be opened, held, or closed within 10 minutes before or after a high-impact news event on the affected currency. Violating this rule results in an immediate account breach.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step<\/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. News profits will be deducted. Trades opened at least 5 hours before a news event or speech are excluded from this restriction.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during both evaluation phases. On the funded account, the same 5-minute restriction applies. News profits will be deducted for trades that violate the window. The 5-hour holding rule exemption applies.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Pro)<\/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. News profits will be deducted. Trades opened at least 5 hours before a news event or speech are excluded from this restriction.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Warning System --><\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for News Rule Violations<\/h3>\n<p>Funding Pips does not follow a warning-based structure for news trading violations. On the Instant (Zero) account, violating the news trading rule results in an immediate account breach. On all other funded accounts, news profits are deducted from trades that violate the 5-minute restriction. There are no progressive warnings before consequences are applied.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 6: Final comments --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>Funding Pips takes a split approach to news trading. Evaluation phases across all challenge types permit news trading freely, which gives traders flexibility during the assessment stage. However, once funded, restrictions apply across the board. One key difference to note is that the Instant (Zero) account enforces a stricter 10-minute window compared to the 5-minute window on all other funded accounts, and a violation leads directly to an account breach rather than a profit deduction. Traders who rely on news trading should factor this in when choosing their account type.<\/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\/funding-pips\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Funding Pips 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 Funding Pips<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/funding-pips\/\"><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 Funding Pips?<\/h4>\n<p>It depends on the account type and phase.
