Red flags
- · The funded-stage news blackout is monetized: after stating "It is prohibited to execute or close any trade within the window of 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high-impact news event", the same help article offers "Want to trade the news? Unlock it with the News Trading Add-On at checkout." (read 2026-09-04).
