The funded clock is two minutes on each side
The published restriction applies to funded accounts. CPI, NFP, and FOMC are the usual prints. A position that was opened well before the window can still be illegal to close inside it, and a new entry inside it is not a funded tactic. If you want the profit banked, close it before the two-minute mark. If you want the trade to survive the number, the stop has to be wide enough to stay in the market, and the cash at that wide stop has to fit the day.
The slip is a separate test. A stop placed twenty minutes earlier can fill far beyond its price when the number hits. That fill counts against daily loss at once. Silver is 5%, or $5,000 on $100,000. Gold 1-Step is 4%, or $4,000. Bratislava marks the trading day at 00:00 CET from the day-start balance or equity. The news window is tied to the release time, not to that midnight reset.
One gold lot can spend a fifth of the Silver day on the print
XAUUSD pays about $10 per 0.10 move on 1.00 lot. A 1.00 lot position with a planned 50-pip stop risks $500. If CPI runs the fill to 150 pips, the same lot costs $1,500. One ticket has used 30% of a Silver day. At 1.45 lots with a 70-pip planned stop, the intended risk is already about $1,015, and a doubled fill is about $2,030, more than 40% of the $5,000 allowance.
NAS100 at $1 per point does the same job at the cash open. A 6.25 lot position with an 80-point stop risks $500. A whip that extends the fill by another 80 points doubles it to $1,000. Bot controls should be flat, or blocked from new entries, through the red-folder minute on a funded login. The stop on any ticket that will be live during the print should assume the wide fill, not the spread you saw an hour earlier.
You may not delete the stop to survive the number
Every trade needs a stop. Pulling it off so CPI cannot tag you replaces a possible slippage loss with a certain rule breach. Widening it from 50 pips to 150 pips on 1.00 lot changes the risk from $500 to $1,500, which may be survivable on Silver and painful on Gold 1-Step. Either choice has to be made before the two-minute window, because the edit itself can be a close or a modification the funded rule does not want inside that band.
Order modifications are limited. A burst of stop edits in the minute before the print spends that allowance and still may not beat the spread. Place the protective stop with the entry, at a distance whose worst plausible fill fits the day, then leave it. Multi-step plans also cap one trade at 50% of cycle profit. A news winner that becomes the whole week can stall the payout even when the click was outside the two minutes.
Flatten on cash loss, and stay out of the two minutes
Equity Guard on Silver should cut the book near $4,250 of daily loss on $100,000, before a news slip walks the last $750 into the official $5,000. Gold 1-Step should sit near $3,250 against its $4,000 day. The guard does not make a forbidden entry legal. It limits the damage of a stop that was already on a ticket when the number hit.
Open a Venasri account and mark the login as funded once it is. A profile that traded the print during an earlier stage should refuse the entry when the account is funded and the clock is inside the two-minute band. Time the band off the release itself, and time the daily reset off 00:00 CET, not off the laptop zone.
