You are allowed to hold your trade(s) on the targeted instrument(s) that were opened more than 2 minutes before the restricted news event. Be reminded that if your Stop Loss or Take Profit is activated/filled during the restricted time window of 2 minutes before until 2:59 minutes/seconds after, it will be taken as a violation of the Account Agreement and any profit accrued, including the fee's will be removed and your balance adjusted accordingly. Other non-targeted instruments can be traded normally.

E.g. If we have High-Impact (Red folder news) in the USD, you can trade other assets or FX crosses such as; EURJPY or AUDJPY. However, you should not execute; open or close crosses such as USDJPY or GBPUSD (where there is USD exposure) during the window of 2 minutes before to 2 minutes 59 seconds after the News release.
