TradeDay News Trading Windows + Discount Code AUDIT

TradeDay discount code AUDIT offers the site's existing 55% reduction on futures evaluations. The coupon does not change the trading windows: TradeDay's published guidance restricts Tier 1 news trading and requires positions to be closed before the relevant product's session close. Check those windows before choosing an evaluation for a news-sensitive strategy.

Coupon and trading-window summary

The TradeDay deal covers Quick Pay and Fast Pass pricing. This guide addresses order handling around restricted times, which is separate from the Fast Pass payout-cycle calendar.

Which releases are covered?

The Tier 1 news policy lists FOMC minutes and rate decisions, US CPI and the employment report as all-product restrictions. It also identifies product-specific EIA oil and gas inventory releases and crop reports. The firm's calendar and current notices should determine the actual event time.

Do not use a generic “red news” label as the whole checklist. Record the event, affected product group and current release time together. A restriction linked to oil contracts and one applying to all products have different scopes. A calendar entry without a product column can make those differences easy to miss.

The published policy describes automatic liquidation two minutes before a covered event and reopening two minutes afterward. It distinguishes an accidental breach from repeatedly ignoring the guidelines. That language does not create permission to trade through the window or a promise that every software response will protect the account.

Turn an event time into a usable window

Suppose the firm's current calendar shows a covered release at 7:30 a.m. CT. Subtracting and adding two minutes gives an illustrative window from 7:28 to 7:32 a.m. CT. This is an example of the calculation, not a statement that a particular release occurs today.

Use the firm's time zone label and a date-aware conversion when viewing the schedule locally. A permanently fixed UTC offset can be wrong around daylight-saving changes. The calendar should also distinguish rescheduled announcements from the ordinary weekly pattern. Copying last week's reminder is insufficient evidence for this week's event.

Working orders deserve their own check

A flat position and an empty working-order book are different states. A pending entry can fill after you believe you have finished, while a leftover conditional order can create an unintended position. Before a restricted window, reconcile both the positions screen and the active-order list for each account you operate.

An operational sequence can be simple: review the event, identify affected instruments, stop initiating new positions in time to comply, close positions and inspect remaining orders. Then check the platform's actual state. Do not treat a clicked button or an alert as proof that the requested change completed.

For multiple accounts, repeat the state check per account. A leader becoming flat does not demonstrate that every copied account received or completed the same exit. If an order state is unclear, resolve it before placing another order rather than assuming that a delayed interface represents a completed cancellation.

Session-close rules are product-specific

The permitted-times guide requires exiting ten minutes before the product closes. It notes that some products, including agricultural contracts, close earlier than others. The guide warns that the trader remains responsible for orders and that failed automatic liquidation does not erase a resulting drawdown breach.

Build a second calendar line for the relevant session close. For illustration, a product closing at 4:00 p.m. has a ten-minute lead point at 3:50 p.m.; a product closing at 1:20 p.m. has one at 1:10 p.m. These are time-subtraction examples, not a verified schedule for particular contracts. Confirm shortened sessions and holidays in the CME trading-hours information linked by TradeDay.

Overnight trading during an open futures session should not be confused with carrying a position through the daily closure. Keep the product, account stage and session date together on the checklist so a change in one does not silently inherit another's reminder.

Auto-liquidation does not replace loss-limit monitoring

The drawdown guide states that loss limits are enforced during the session even where the trailing calculation updates at day-end. An EOD label therefore does not mean the account can cross its current loss floor intraday and recover by the close.

That distinction belongs beside the timing checklist. Scheduled news, an ordinary session close and the active loss boundary are separate constraints. Satisfying one does not cancel the others. Record the current account limits from the dashboard rather than treating the nominal account size as the money available to lose.
