News Trading Policy

1. Challenge Phase (Step 1 & Step 2)

  • You may trade freely during all news events with no restricted windows or execution limits.
  • Trades may be opened, closed, or modified directly during news events.

2. Funded Stage & Instant Accounts — the 10-minute window

  • The restricted window: you may not open a new position or close an existing position on the affected instrument within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a listed high-impact news announcement (a 10-minute total restricted window).
  • Execution types covered: this restriction applies to all forms of execution — manual market execution, pending orders, Stop-Loss (SL), and Take-Profit (TP).
  • Holding through news: holding an open trade through the news release is permitted, provided the position was opened more than 5 minutes prior to the start of the restricted event.

3. Soft breach handling

  • If a pre-existing position's Stop-Loss or Take-Profit executes inside the 10-minute restricted window, it is classified as a soft breach.
  • Account status: your account will not be terminated.
  • Profit treatment: any realised profits generated from that specific execution are ineligible for withdrawal and will be deducted.
  • Loss treatment: any losses incurred during the restricted window remain the trader's sole responsibility and will not be reimbursed or reversed.

Affected economic announcements

This restriction applies strictly to the specific currency or instrument linked to the event (as classified by standard calendars like Forex Factory or Myfxbook):

  • Monetary policy: interest rate decisions, rate statements, and central bank press conferences.
  • Inflation & growth: Consumer Price Index (CPI), Core PCE, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reports.
  • Labor market: Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), Unemployment Rate, and Employment Change data.
  • Activity indices: Manufacturing and Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI).
  • Speeches & press conferences: restricted for their entire live duration, plus the standard 5-minute buffer before the start and after the conclusion.

Relation to other rules: this policy works in tandem with the Weekend Holding rule. Holding positions across the weekend closure requires the Weekend Holding add-on.

Frequently asked questions

Can I trade news during my challenge phase? Yes. News trading is completely unrestricted on Step 1 and Step 2 evaluation accounts.

Can I trade news once I am on a Funded Stage or Instant account? You cannot open or close trades on the affected currency or asset within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a listed high-impact news release. You may hold a running trade through the event as long as it was entered more than 5 minutes prior to the release.

What happens if my Stop-Loss or Take-Profit triggers inside the restricted window? It is treated as a soft breach. The account remains active and will not be closed, but any profits earned from that execution cannot be withdrawn. Any incurred losses remain on the account balance.

Important Disclaimers & Risk Warnings

General Disclaimer: GenzProp provides simulated trading evaluations and funding programs. All trading activities are conducted in a simulated environment and do not involve real money until you successfully pass the evaluation phase and receive funded account access. Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.

No Financial Advice: Nothing on this website constitutes financial, investment, trading, or legal advice. All information provided is for educational and informational purposes only. You should consult with qualified financial advisors, tax professionals, and legal counsel before making any financial decisions or participating in trading programs.

Risk of Loss: Trading in financial markets carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Past Performance: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical results and hypothetical performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.

Evaluation Programs: Our evaluation programs are designed to assess your trading skills and risk management capabilities. There is no guarantee that you will pass the evaluation or receive funding. Evaluation fees are non-refundable once a program is activated, except as set out in our Refund Policy — which includes a full refund of your evaluation fee once you receive your first payout from a funded account. All trading rules, profit targets, and risk parameters must be strictly adhered to.

Regulatory Notice: GenzProp operates as a proprietary trading firm providing evaluation and funding services. We are not a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or financial institution. Our services are not regulated by financial authorities in all jurisdictions. Please ensure that our services are legal and appropriate in your jurisdiction before participating.

Market Risks: Financial markets are subject to various risks including but not limited to market volatility, liquidity risks, counterparty risks, technological failures, and regulatory changes. Market conditions can change rapidly and may result in significant losses. You may lose all or more than your initial investment.

Technology & Platform: While we strive to provide reliable trading platforms and services, we do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation. Technical issues, system failures, or cyber-attacks may affect your ability to trade. We are not liable for losses resulting from technical failures beyond our reasonable control.

Account Terms: All funded accounts are subject to our terms and conditions, trading rules, and risk management policies. Violation of these terms may result in account termination. Profit splits, withdrawal terms, and account management rules are detailed in your account agreement and may be subject to change.

Tax Implications: Trading profits may be subject to taxation in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with all applicable tax laws and regulations. We recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional regarding your specific tax obligations.

Acknowledgment: By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions, including this disclaimer. You confirm that you understand the risks involved in trading and that you are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their outcomes.
