At Paramount Funded, we allow traders to demonstrate their full skill and strategy — including during volatile market conditions.
However, there are important distinctions between evaluation and funded accounts regarding news trading.
📊 During the Evaluation Phase
News trading is allowed.
You may hold or open trades during major economic events without restrictions.
🚫 During the Funded Phase
Trading during high-impact (“red folder”) news events is not allowed.
This rule applies to any news marked as high impact on the following official sources:
Traders must avoid opening new positions three minutes before and three minutes after the release of red-folder news.
Violating this rule may result in disqualification or termination of the funded account.
