01 // The problem

One trade during red folder news can cost you your payout or profit.

Prop firms like FTMO, Funding Pips and FundedNext restrict trading around high-impact news such as CPI, NFP and FOMC. One trade inside that restricted window is enough to lose what you earned.

  1. 01

    News profit does not count

    Profit made inside a news window is removed before the payout. Some firms reject the whole payout request.

  2. 02

    Some firms close the account

    Depending on the firm and the account stage, it can count as a hard breach. Months of work on a funded account can end with one trade.

  3. 03

    It almost always happens by accident

    You cannot watch the calendar and the chart at once. A clean setup forms, you take it, and the release is two minutes away.
