US high-impact (red folder) news trading is a HARD BREACH on funded accounts — be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after any release where impact is High and currency is USD. Microscalping flagged when more than 50% of profits come from trades held 5 seconds or less; HFT prohibited; hedging prohibited across accounts, users and firms; martingaling discouraged. DCA, genuine scalping, flipping and trade copiers are allowed. 30 calendar days without at least $1 of net profit or loss permanently deletes the account; breached evaluations are deleted after 30 days unless reset.
