Red flags
- · The funded-stage news blackout catches exits as well as entries: "No trades: 2 minutes before 2 minutes after. This includes: Opening trades, Closing trades, TP/SL execution." A stop-loss filling inside the window is a rule event the trader cannot prevent (Elite Access accounts overview, read 2026-09-04).
