Alphahavoc 2023 : Did I lose something important as a Trader in exchange for .

However, for FTMO Traders having the FTMO Account Aggressive account types (leverage 1:100) are NOT allowed to execute any new trade or close an existing trade on the targeted (as per the table) instrument in the window of 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after the release of the below news announcements. To clarify, FTMO define executing a trade as opening or closing either a pending order (including stop loss or a take profit) or market execution. 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 minutes after, it may be taken as a violation of the FTMO Account Agreement

That seems really difficult to comply with. Is it my imagination or not? It looks like it says you can open a trade 2 minutes before the news announcement and you can close after 2 minutes after the news announcement but if your stop loss or take profit hits inside the news announcement you fail the challenge.

How much profit do you have to make in the 14 days as a percentage to pass the challenge?

Either way I really hope you make it
