What are the consequences of trading restricted news?
TL;DR
On Funded/Instant without the News Trading add-on, trading inside the restricted news window is a rule violation and can mean account breach/termination (read full article for details).
How it works: Breaking news trading rules in PropXP
For risk management purposes, PropXP treats news restrictions like other “hard line” rules: Funded/Instant (no add-on), if you open/close a trade during the restricted window — including via pending triggers or SL/TP executions, it’s a violation.
Possible outcomes:
- First violation → warning email & profit adjustment on the affected trades (if needed) + reduced profit split to 50% for the remaining life of the account.
- Second violation → hard breach of the account.
- Reward impact: on Funded, a funded news violation can lead to reward denial and termination.
- If you break the rule again on a new account: you may be permanently banned.
- PropXP also reserves the right to take action for pattern abuse and integrity issues (reviews aren’t about one candle; they’re about behavior).
Common gotchas
- “It was only a quick scalp”: red news doesn’t care about your hold time.
- “I was flat… except my pending”: that pending is a hands-free trade. It counts.
- If you violate funded news rules repeatedly, the “punishment” isn’t always just losing the account, sometimes it’s worse: if you break the rule again on a new account, you may be permanently banned.
- Spreads can get feral around news; if you’re near drawdown, you’re basically inviting a breach on top of a violation.
Example
You’re Instant Funding, no News Add-On. CPI drops, your buy stop triggers during the 5-min window: that’s treated as executing a trade inside the restriction, and you can get a warning + rewards cut or breached/terminated.
