The exact Take Profit Trader news rule
No news restriction — a deliberate positioning choice by TPT.
News rules are the most common reason a funded payout is reduced or denied: profit made inside a restricted window is often removed before the payout is calculated, even if the account was never breached.
Evaluation vs funded account
Many firms allow news on the evaluation and restrict it only once you are funded — the opposite of what traders assume. Read the funded-account terms before you build a strategy around releases like NFP, CPI or FOMC.
- NFP (first Friday, 8:30 ET)
- CPI (mid-month, 8:30 ET)
- FOMC decision (2:00 ET)
