Trading during major news events is risky because sudden volatility can cause unpredictable price spikes, slippage, and widened spreads that make it difficult to control entries and exits. This environment often leads to outcomes that don’t accurately reflect a trader’s skill or strategy, creating unrealistic performance results. Because of this, Moneta Funded doesn't allow traders to engage in News Trading.
To address this, we recommend traders review the calendars for high-impact news and plan accordingly to avoid trading during major news events. Traders are encouraged to utilize the Economic Calendar within their Dashboard to review any upcoming news events and plan accordingly.
Please note that failure to follow our policy will result in any profits accrued during news trading to be deducted from your account balance and can result in a user failing the internal review process of the evaluation phase(s). Repeat violations of the News Trading rule may result in a permanent ban from Moneta Funded's platform and services.
