Alpha Futures News Trading Restrictions
During the evaluation phase the trader can trade through news without any restrictions.
Once on a qualified account the trader cannot execute any orders within 2 minutes before and after a high impact news release.
There is an economic calendar on the trader dashboard which shows the scheduled news events and their severity, and high impact news events will show on the charts for the contracts they affect.
If a trader accidentally executes orders during a high impact news event the trade will be voided and their payout request will be denied, forcing them to wait until the next payout cycle before they can request a payout. Repeated violations of the news trading rule may result in the trader’s account being breached.
