There are no news trading limits during Evaluation.

Once you become an official EverTrader, you can hold trades over the news, but you cannot open or close any trades within 6 minutes before and 6 minutes after a high impact news report is issued.

Profit recognition:

Profits from trades that are opened at any time before a high impact news and are closed within 6 minutes before or 6 minutes after the event will be recognized. This rule allows swing traders who plan their trades in advance to benefit from their strategic decisions without penalty.

Profit reduction:

Profits from trades that are opened and closed within a 12-minute window around a high-impact news event (6 minutes before or 6 minutes after) will not be counted. However, the account will not be breached. This rule is intended to prevent short-term speculative trading based on news.
