Base Camp Instant Funding - Standard

Holding trades through the news is allowed. News trading is restricted around high-impact news events. Specifically, traders are not allowed to open or close trades five minutes before or after the release of high-impact news.
​Trading news will result in a hard breach of the account.

News trading is not restricted. You can open and close trades whenever you want.

Economic Calendar

High-impact news events are determined based on listings from Forex Factory, a well-regarded resource for Forex market news and events. We only take this economic calendar into consideration when we look at news trading.


You can find the news calendar here: Economic Calendar

High-impact news or red folder news look like this:

Which pairs can you trade while high-impact news come out?

High-impact news only affects the pair you trade.
For example, if you trade EURUSD EUR and USD, high-impact news will affect you but not AUD news.
​
​Note:

  • All-day events in the Forex Factory Calendar can be ignored.

  • Tentative events in the Forex Factory Calendar can be ignored.

  • All events without an exact time can be ignored.
