How restrictions usually work
Typical rules ban opening or closing trades within 2 to 5 minutes of a high-impact release, often only on funded accounts. Some firms let you hold through news but cancel profits from trades opened inside the window. The rule wording on the firm's site decides it, so check before NFP or CPI.
