# News Trading

Trading around high-impact news events carries increased volatility and risk. Supertrade applies restrictions on certain instruments during major announcements to ensure fair execution and protect capital.

### Restrictions

* Orders placed immediately before or during major news events may be limited depending on the instrument.
* Spreads can widen significantly around announcements, which may affect fills and slippage.
* Some plans may include additional constraints, such as holding times or minimum distances for stop orders.

### Economic Calendar in Supertrade

To help traders stay informed, Supertrade provides a **built-in economic calendar** directly in the trading dashboard.

* The calendar highlights upcoming high-impact events (e.g., NFP, CPI, interest rate decisions).
* Traders can check events in advance and adjust position sizing or pause trading.
* Using the calendar is strongly recommended to avoid breaching account rules during restricted periods.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can find the economic calendar in your **Supertrade dashboard** under the trading tools section. Checking it daily will help you stay compliant with account rules and avoid unnecessary drawdown breaches.
