  1. Step 1

    News calendar in the panel

    The live clock at the top of the panel is the firm timezone. Restricted windows use that clock — not your phone. Open News calendar before you trade. Instant programs typically cannot trade news; Prime/Rapid usually can — confirm on Trading Rules.

    Yellow vs red

    Yellow flags strip profit on the offending trades and send email; the account usually stays open. Red / hard breaches close the account. Details live under Breaches and in Trading Rules.
