Q1: Can I trade during news events on Funds.Pro?
A: Yes, news trading is allowed on both challenge and funded accounts. There are no technical restrictions preventing you from entering trades around high-impact news events such as NFP, CPI, FOMC, etc.
Q2: If news trading is allowed, are there any risks involved?
A: While it is allowed, we strongly discourage traders from relying solely on news-based trades. The Trade Ethics Team closely monitors trading behavior, especially after you get funded.
If your account shows a pattern of:
Trading only during news spikes
Using large lot sizes during high volatility
Passing the challenge with just one or two high-impact trades
…it may raise red flags with the Trade Ethics Team, and they could reject your funded account or delay your payout, citing concerns about the sustainability and ethics of your trading style.
Q3: Why is news-only trading frowned upon?
Our goal at Funds.Pro is to fund traders who demonstrate consistent, sustainable, and professional trading habits. News-only trading is often associated with:
High risk
Unpredictable outcomes
Strategies that may not be viable long-term
Hence, while technically permitted, such approaches can result in your funded account being denied or terminated during the post-challenge audit.
Q5: Will I be notified if my news trading raises concerns?
Yes. If the Trade Ethics Team finds your trading pattern problematic during the audit phase (usually after passing a challenge), you will be informed directly via email or dashboard notification.
✅ Final Recommendation:
You are free to trade news, but for long-term success and smooth funding approval, it’s best to build your strategy around consistency and not just volatility spikes and avoid news trading completely.
