News Trading Policy

There are no news trading restrictions for Evaluation Accounts. There are however for Qualified Accounts.

You may hold through news releases following your trading plan, but no orders may be executed within 2 minutes before or after high impact news events.

Here at Alpha Futures we refer to the Economic Calendar in your Trader Hub on our platform, AlphaTicks. Anything with a red icon is considered high impact and this rule applies.

If you are on another platform, this Calendar is pulled from Financial Juice.

High Impact Events are indicated by red, medium impact events are orange, and low impact events are yellow.

High Impact Events will be marked directly on the chart of the asset they affect. For example, the UK GDP Estimate will obviously affect /6B and it will be marked on the chart as shown below.

This event would not affect /ES however, and there would be no indication on the chart.

Speeches

You will notice speeches are indicated by a blue dot on Financial Juice. The blue DOES NOT indicate impact on Financial Juice, this simply means there is a live stream/live updates available for the event.

The high impact speeches will be marked directly on the chart of the assets they affect, just like other High Impact Events. The 4 minute window only applies to the start time listed of the speech event, not its entirety.

If you violate this policy, your profits on the trade within the 4 minute window will be void, your payout will be denied, and you will have to wait until the next payout date to request again. We understand people make mistakes, and a few times violating this rule will be treated as honest accidents, but if the team starts to recognize a pattern with a trader purposely not following this policy, Alpha Futures reserves the right to close the account.

Alpha Futures Risk Disclosure:
Futures trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing your financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many significant performance and other limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown on the website or any promotional material.
CFTC Rule 4.41:
Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, because the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown. Testimonials appearing on this website may not be representative of other clients or customers and is not a guarantee of future performance or success.
