The window is real until the account reaches Rank 3
High-impact news carries a two-minute restriction on either side for accounts that have not reached XP Rank 3. That covers the open and the close. A stop that is already working may still fill, and the fill counts. After Rank 3 the click itself can be permitted. The economics of the slip do not change with the badge.
The flagship day is 4%, or $4,000 on $100,000. Endurance is 3%, or $3,000. A strategy that needs the print should not be run on a pre-rank account, because the entry is the violation even when the idea makes money. Sign up on Venasri and store the rank next to the login so the bot knows which window applies.
Sixty pips on 1.50 lots is $900 after the click is legal
One lot of gold is $10 per 0.10 and $100 per $1.00. At 1.50 lots a pip is $15. Sixty pips of travel through a stop is $900. Two such slips are $1,800. On Endurance that pair is most of the $3,000 day. On the flagship path it is just under half of $4,000. The rank that allowed the trade does not rebate the difference between the stop you placed and the price you got.
NFP, CPI, and FOMC are the releases that do this to gold and to the US indices. Bot controls should be flat through the window on any account below Rank 3, and smaller than the usual unit on accounts that have earned the right to stay in.
A news winner held into 00:00 UTC reprices the next day
The daily anchor is the higher of balance or floating equity at 00:00 UTC. A CPI trade that is $2,500 in profit at the snapshot can lift the next day's line. If that profit gives back after midnight, the new session spends it. Consistency Mode also cares about the share of the cycle that one day produced. A spectacular news day can clear 50% of cycle profit and stall the review while the loss line was never in danger.
Classic has no best-day cap. The same $2,500 news day is just a good day there, and it is still a floating-equity problem at midnight. Know the mode before you hold the runner into the UTC date change.
Put the flatten inside the day the slip can reach
Equity Guard at $3,250 on a $100,000 flagship book stops the session $750 before $4,000. One $900 slip does not reach it. Three of them do. Endurance should flatten near $2,250 so two $900 slips, which are $1,800, still leave a small pocket before the $3,000 day is the exit.
The kill switch on Endurance is a separate tool aimed at a single ticket with no stop. A news plan needs the stop in the market before the print, at a size that survives 60 pips of slip without becoming the whole day. Rank 3 removes a timing ban. It does not remove the arithmetic.
