Question mark

Can I trade news?

High-Impact News events can cause the market to move very quickly. During these periods, spreads may widen, liquidity may drop, and orders may be executed with slippage or at unexpected prices. For this reason, specific news trading restrictions apply to BEM Trader Accounts.

During the evaluation phase, news trading is permitted without restrictions. Users may freely open, close, and modify trades during High-Impact News events.

After successfully completing the evaluation, the following restrictions apply.

For the purposes of this rule, High-Impact News refers to announcements shared through BEM Funding’s official Discord news channels and Telegram channel.

 



Restricted Window

 

A restricted window applies 4 minutes before and 4 minutes after a High-Impact News event.

During this period, you may keep existing trades open. However, for instruments affected by the relevant news event, you must not:

  • Open or close market orders

  • Place, execute, or modify pending orders

  • Modify Stop Loss or Take Profit levels

  • Execute or modify any trade action on affected traditional assets

 



Affected Instruments

 

News trading restrictions apply to traditional assets, including Forex, Indices, Metals, and Energies.

Restrictions apply only to instruments impacted by the relevant news event. For example, USD-related news may affect instruments including, but not limited to, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCHF, XAUUSD, GER40, US30, US100, and US500.

Cryptocurrency pairs are not subject to news trading restrictions.

 



What happens if this rule is breached?

 

A single violation of this rule is considered a soft breach.

Two (2) accumulated soft breaches are considered a hard breach, which may result in account termination.

Any gains or evaluation progress resulting from a violation may be cancelled. Profits generated in violation of this rule may be deducted, while losses remain the User’s responsibility.

Compliance controls may be performed at any time, including after evaluation completion.
