News windows

A two-minute ban, a named calendar, and a missing clause are three different products.

News rules exist because a few seconds around a scheduled release can move a price further than a daily loss limit. Firms that simulate the account still copy the restriction, sometimes to keep the simulation from strategies they do not want, sometimes because the wording was pasted from a live-dealing contract. The reason does not change the clause you have to obey.

What has to be specified before the rule is usable

Which events. ‘High impact’ is not a list. Whose calendar, and which currency.
The window. Two minutes before and after is a different product from ‘the whole day of non-farm payrolls’.
What is banned. Opening a trade, holding a trade that was already on, or both.
The consequence. A closed trade, a voided trade, or a failed account.

Northline’s demonstration text is a two-minute window around events the firm marks as high impact. The event list is company-stated. That is conditional, not a blanket news ban. Atlas says news trading is not allowed, without handing you a personal definition. You should assume the stricter reading — do not have positions that depend on the release — until you have their list.

Crypto does not inherit the forex calendar

Keel’s larger crypto record does not define a news clause. A forex trader who arrives with a non-farm-payrolls habit will not find that event on the card. The absence is not a researched permission to trade any headline. It is not-found. Crypto trades through the weekend on that record; the news question stays open on purpose.

If you need the release

If your strategy is the release, a prohibition is a hard conflict. A window you can stand aside for is not. Do not buy the programme and plan to ‘just be careful’ inside a banned window. The firm’s server will be more literal than you are.
