News windows

On Instant Funded you may not open a position within 3 minutes before or after a major news release unless you bought the News Trading add-on. On the 2-Step, trading is restricted from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news. Check the program rules for the 1-Step and your account’s add-ons before trading a release.

All content published and distributed by My Funded Capital – FZCO and its affiliates is intended to be treated as general information only.

None of the information provided by the company or contained here is intended as investment advice, an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as a recommendation, endorsement, or sponsorship of any security, company, or fund. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients or customers and are not a guarantee of future performance or success. My Funded Capital is not a broker and does not accept client deposits.

All program fees are used for operational costs, including staff, technology, and other business-related expenses. My Funded Capital itself does not carry out any regulated activities; our exclusive activities are Prop Trading and Trading Education and we are therefore not required to be authorized by regulatory authorities.

My Funded Capital – FZCO serves as an Introducing Broker, offering clients access exclusively to demo accounts within a simulated trading environment. Additionally, the services offered are aimed at assessing professional skills. The results of these services are directly related to each individual’s professional skill level and their capacity to follow the program guidelines and objectives detailed for each service. We encourage clients to conduct a comprehensive review of the program requirements before enrolling in any services. Disclosure on Hypothetical Performance: The accounts utilized for our services are demo accounts. Hypothetical performance results come with inherent limitations, among which include the fact that they do not reflect actual trading. No claim is made that any account will achieve or is likely to achieve profits or losses comparable to those discussed; in reality, actual results can significantly differ from those predicted by hypothetical performance. Hypothetical performance often benefits from hindsight, does not account for financial risk, and cannot consider the financial risk in actual trading. For instance, the capacity to endure losses or to stick to a trading plan despite losses are crucial factors that can negatively impact real trading results. Many other market factors or aspects of implementing a specific trading program not accounted for in hypothetical performance preparation can also adversely affect actual trading results. Please be aware that we do not offer specific investment advice, business consulting, analysis of investment opportunities, or any general recommendations on trading investment instruments. Trading in financial markets carries a high level of risk, and we advise against risking more than you can afford to lose.
