Hex Funded terminated my account over a limit order placed before the news event

I spent more than three months trading a $10,000 instant-funded account and built $456 in profit. My payout was denied because a gold position remained open during an FOMC press conference. The disputed trade came from a pending limit order placed the previous day with its stop loss and take profit already set. I understood the published rule to allow that setup, so the termination came as a shock. Traders should obtain written clarification on the news rule before placing pending orders.
