News Trading Rules :-

There is no restriction to news trading at all. Traders can trade the way they want during the news event.

Other Things to keep in mind:-

How is daily drawdown calculated :

Pipfarm calculates Daily drawdown based on the balance a trader has at the end of the day. For example if a trader has an account of $10000 in the start and the daily drawdown is calculated at the rate of 3% of the end-of-day balance(21:00 UTC) then the drawdown limit will be $9700 which means the trader cannot lose more than $300 in a day. If the trader makes profit and the account grows to $11000 then the daily drawdown will be recalculated at the end of the day and will be 3% of the end-of-day balance which is now $11000 and based on that the Daily Drawdown will be $330.
