As a Trading PLUS Trader, we have confidence in your trading skills and risk management abilities, which is why we provide you with top-rated trading conditions. To alleviate the stress of meeting profit targets, we’ve removed the Profit Target requirement, allowing you to trade with peace of mind. The only Trading Objectives you need to focus on are the drawdown rules, specifically the Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss. These key rules are the foundation of our trading philosophy.

As a TradingPLUS Trader, you may trade freely during all news releases while in the Step 1 and Step 2 phases of your evaluation process. However, once both evaluation steps are successfully completed, adherence to news trading restrictions becomes essential to mitigate risks associated with market volatility.To ensure fair trading practices, TradingPLUS imposes restrictions during the Funded stage, prohibiting trade execution on designated instruments from two minutes before to two minutes after the release of specified high-impact news events. These restrictions include the opening or closing of positions, modification of orders, and activation of pending orders.Trade execution involves initiating, modifying, or closing a position through various order types, including but not limited to:

• Market Orders – Immediate execution at the prevailing market price
• Pending Orders – Orders that activate when the market reaches a predefined price (e.g., limit and stop orders)
• Stop-Loss Orders – Automatic closure of a position to limit losses
• Take-Profit Orders – Closure of a position when the price reaches the predefined profit target

Executing a trade—including market orders, triggered pending orders, or the activation/modification of stop-loss and take-profit orders—within the restricted time frame constitutes a violation of the TradingPLUS news trading policy. Violations may result in corrective actions such as trade cancellations, account suspension or termination, or other penalties deemed necessary to ensure compliance. Additionally, all profits gained will be forfeited and will not be available for withdrawal.During restricted news events, traders may continue trading unaffected instruments as usual. For example, pairs such as EURGBP or AUDNZD may be traded freely during the US Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) release, whereas instruments like USDJPY or GBPUSD should not be opened or closed within the restricted window.Traders can monitor news release schedules using the FxStreet Economic Calendar (https://www.fxstreet.com/economic-calendar), where restricted events are clearly marked with a red marker for easy identification.Note: The restrictions outlined above do not apply to Step 1 or Step 2 accounts; traders in these phases may trade freely during all news events.

During the Step 1 and Step 2 stages of your Trading PLUS evaluation, there is no requirement to close your positions overnight or over the weekend—you have the flexibility to keep them open as you choose.

However, once you become a Trading PLUS Trader and receive your Trading PLUS Account, it is essential to close your positions before the weekend market close or if the rollover (market break) exceeds 2 hours. As a Trading PLUS Trader, adhering to market timings is crucial, as different asset classes and instruments may have varying trading hours.

Standard market hours are available on our trading platforms and on our Symbols page, but please note that these hours may change due to major holidays or other events. We recommend regularly checking the Trading Updates section for any changes.

In MetaTrader, you can view standard market hours for any instrument by opening Market Watch (Ctrl+M), right-clicking on the instrument, and selecting Specification. Scroll down to find the Trade hours for that instrument. In cTrader, go to Markets, right-click the instrument, and select Market Symbol to view trade hours.

If you trade cryptocurrencies, be aware that some can be traded during specific hours over the weekend as well.

Your trading style is entirely up to you! At Trading PLUS, we encourage a wide range of strategies as long as your trading is legitimate, adheres to proper risk management, aligns with real market conditions, and avoids prohibited practices. There are no limits on your strategy, whether you prefer discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, or using Expert Advisors (EAs). However, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to achieve similar results as on your Trading PLUS Account. While we don’t require the use of stop-loss orders, it is highly recommended for safety. The maximum volume per order in Forex is 50 lots.

Instruments You Can Trade
You can trade all the instruments available on your trading platform, including:
1. Forex
2. Indices
3. Commodities
4. Stocks
5. Cryptocurrencies

For a full list of available symbols, please refer to this link . If you plan to use trading robots (Expert Advisors), please note that using a third-party EA may lead to other traders employing the same EA and strategy. This could potentially result in exceeding the maximum capital allocation rule, which may lead to a denial of your Trading PLUS Account.

Platform Limits
Please be aware of our platform server limits:
1. 200 orders at a time
2. 2,000 positions per day
3. Restrictions on accepting server messages (including orders and modifications such as TP/SL updates and limit orders)

If your EA generates excessive activity on the platform, we may request that you adjust its logic or parameters.

Trading Integrity

We also encourage you to avoid practices that don’t reflect serious trading. If we identify intentional misuse or repeated behaviours across multiple accounts, we may take necessary measures to manage risk. These actions could involve removing conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, reducing leverage, or even terminating the account.

At Trading PLUS, we encourage you to trade with genuine intent, demonstrating consistency and a true market edge. Happy trading!
