FxPro has updated its trading rules to restrict order placement in the minutes surrounding high-impact economic releases across its evaluation and funded programs.

What Changed

• No new positions may be opened within 2 minutes before or after a Tier-1 news event (as classified on the economic calendar the firm publishes).
• Positions already open before the restricted window are not force-closed, but stop-loss levels cannot be modified during the window.
• The restriction applies to both Evaluation and Funded accounts; it did not previously apply to Funded accounts.

Why It Matters

Traders who built strategies around news volatility on Funded accounts will need to adjust, since the same window that was previously unrestricted now carries a hard block on new entries.

Prop Firm Match Perspective

This brings FxPro's rule closer to the stricter end of the market. Traders evaluating FxPro against other prop firms should factor this restriction in if their strategy depends on trading through scheduled news releases.
