On Zero, any trade activity within 10 minutes of such news is a hard breach). The5ers: allowed with limits (On High Stakes and the Summer Plan, opening or closing orders from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news is prohibited and profits from that window are removed; holding trades through news is allowed. Growth and Bootcamp allow news trading but ban bracketing strategies).
