30 minutes either side versus a funded 5-minute PDF
High-impact folders move gold and indices 30 to 80 pips with gaps. STOPLEVEL expands, 10016 storms, freeze level locks modifies. A 5-minute funded clause does not contain a 200-millisecond vacuum. Venasri pauses new bot entries 30 minutes before and after CPI, NFP, FOMC, BoE, and ECB. Evaluation PDFs are quieter, which is why traders practice straddles on Phase 1 and then lose funded Tuesday Payday. The 5% daily still applies on every stage.
Full auto news-straddle bots need source-ownership proof and still fail funded windows. Keep Venasri in the risk-manager lane: blackout, stops, flatten.
Map event time to UTC+3, then flatten or sit
US CPI at 12:30 UTC is 15:30 UTC+3. Dubai-based traders treat that as a normal afternoon. start free on Venasri so the blackout is on event time, not on 'after lunch.' If a scalp is open, flatten before the window. If a swing is open, either bank TP1 or accept that Equity Guard at 4.25% may flatten the gap. Do not add the other side. FundingPips method bans already hate grids. A news hedge is a grid with a calendar.
Zero Instant 45% consistency also hates a lucky CPI day that is 70% of cycle profit even if the 5-minute rule does not confiscate it.
Blackout plus 10016 plus 2,000 requests
1-Step 4% daily ($4,000) can die on one slipped fill. Treat the blackout as mandatory there, not optional.
Weekend is not a news holiday on gold
Weekend holding is allowed on selected models. Sunday does not have US CPI, but Monday 00:00 UTC+3 can still recast from weekend equity before a Monday data print. Bank large floats Sunday night. After a news stop, wait 300 seconds. A recovery order 90 seconds later is revenge plus a possible funded-window event.
