Is news trading allowed in the Stellar Instant accounts?

TL;DR: Yes, news trading is allowed in the Stellar Instant Account, but trades executed within 5 minutes before or after a listed high-impact news event are subject to the News Profit Split Rule. Under this rule, only 40% of the profit from those trades will count toward your account's profit. ZeroPoint also applies a 1% equity buffer to the Trailing Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) to prevent unintended breaches caused by news-time profit deductions.

Yes, news trading is allowed in the Stellar Instant model. Traders can open or close trades during high-impact news events. However, a special News Profit Rule applies during these events.

News Profit Rule

• Time Window: 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a listed high-impact news event (10-minute window).
• Profit Calculation: Only 40% of the profit from trades placed during this window will be counted toward your account's profit.
• Applies to: Market executions and pending orders (Take Profit or Stop Loss).
• Partial closures: If part of a position is closed during the news window, the entire trade is affected; only 40% of the profit will count.
• News profit is calculated after the cycle ends.

1% News Time MLL Equity buffer

To prevent unintended breach due to news-time profit adjustments, ZeroPoint offers a 1% equity extension to the Trailing MLL. So after the wallet deduction from the reward share, the account can remain safe. This 1% buffer is available a maximum of 3 times in one single account.
