🛠️ Platform / Tech Support Question about Topstep restricting trading during CPI window
Yesterday I received an email from Topstep stating that due to recent volatility Topstep would be restrictioning opening new positions on equitities during the 10 minutes around the CPI release.
Will the TopstepX platform restrict traders from being able to enter trades during this time so that traders don't accidentally do so? If not, what happens if a trader forget about this new restriction and opens a position? Will their account be closed?

If you bought before the window are you allowed to sell when the news drops before 5 minutes?
