Important Trading Notice: U.S. Daylight Saving Time Adjustment
October 31, 2025
The U.S. Daylight Saving Time ends on 2 November 2025. SiegPath traders should note that server time will change from GMT+3 to GMT+2 starting Monday, 3 November 2025. Trading hours remain unaffected, but daily resets will now follow GMT+2.

As the United States transitions out of Daylight Saving Time, SiegPath would like to inform all traders of a scheduled time adjustment on our partner brokers’ trading servers.

This change ensures continued alignment with global market operating hours and seamless data synchronisation across all instruments on the SiegTerminal.

Key Details

  • Effective Date: Monday, 3 November 2025
  • Server Time Change: From GMT+3 to GMT+2
  • Adjustment Period: The server time will be updated automatically over the weekend, following the market close on Friday, 31 October 2025.

From the opening of the market on Monday, the server time will operate on GMT+2, aligning with the end of the U.S. Daylight Saving period.

Impact on Trading

  • Trading Hours Unchanged:
    The trading hours for all instruments, including Forex, Commodities, US Stocks, and Indices, will remain the same. Only the time zone reference will shift to GMT+2.
  • Daily Reset Timing:
    The reset time for metrics such as Maximum Daily Loss, daily statistics, and equity tracking will now follow the GMT+2 schedule.
  • Market Events & News Releases:
    Please note that major U.S. economic data—such as NFP, CPI, and FOMC releases—will occur one hour later than usual in GMT-based regions until local time zones adjust.

Trader Action Required

We recommend all traders:

  • Review and adjust their EA and automated trading schedules accordingly.
  • Double-check the timing of economic events and trading plans during the transition week.
  • Ensure awareness of the new daily reset time for risk-management calculations.

SiegPath remains committed to providing traders with a consistent, transparent, and professional trading environment. This adjustment is part of our ongoing effort to ensure that all sessions operate in line with international market standards, regardless of regional time changes.

Trading the News: How to Stay Profitable When Markets Go Wild
October 31, 2025

News events move markets — sometimes in seconds. From central-bank decisions and inflation data to geopolitical tensions, announcements can send price charts surging or collapsing in the blink of an eye.
For traders, this volatility offers both opportunity and danger. Enter too early, and you risk being whipsawed by spreads; act too late, and the move is already gone.

That’s why “trading the news” requires more than luck — it demands discipline, preparation, and timing. At SiegPath, we help traders harness volatility intelligently through structured evaluations, data analytics, and economic calendar, our comprehensive global calendar for market-moving events.

Why News Matters in Trading

Every major price movement begins with information.
Economic data releases such as Non-Farm Payrolls, CPI, or GDP reports instantly reshape expectations about interest rates, inflation, and monetary policy — key drivers of all asset classes.

  • Forex: reacts to interest-rate expectations and macro reports.
  • Stocks & indices: move on earnings, economic health, or political announcements.
  • Commodities: especially gold and oil, surge during uncertainty or geopolitical shocks.

Professional traders don’t fear news — they plan around it.

The Risks Behind News Volatility

Trading around high-impact releases can be profitable, but also perilous.
Here’s what makes it so tricky:

  • Spread widening: brokers often increase spreads seconds before announcements.
  • Slippage: orders may execute at different prices than expected.
  • Emotional over-reaction: FOMO leads to impulsive trades.
  • Data whipsaws: markets may spike in both directions before choosing a trend.

Recognising these factors is the first step toward mastering the chaos rather than being caught by it.

How Professionals Trade the News

Successful news traders never gamble — they prepare scenarios and execute with precision.

1. Pre-Event Planning

  • Mark key releases via economic calendar and note expected figures vs. prior results.
  • Define risk per trade before the event (e.g., max 1 % of account).
  • Decide whether to trade before, during, or after the announcement.

2. During the Release

  • If trading live, use limit orders rather than market orders to reduce slippage.
  • Keep spreads visible in the SiegTerminal — never assume normal conditions.
  • Avoid over-leveraging; volatility can hit both sides in seconds.

3. Post-Event Reaction

  • Wait for confirmation candles or retests before entering.
  • Combine fundamentals with technicals — RSI, MA, or MACD can confirm momentum.
  • Journal results to refine your strategy for the next event.

How SiegPath Supports News Traders

SiegPath recognises that market volatility is part of real trading — not something to fear.
Our platform ecosystem helps traders stay professional even when markets move fast:

  • Event Calendar: integrated calendar with tiered impact ratings and live data updates.
  • Real-Market Conditions: evaluations mirror true broker execution environments.
  • Transparent Rules: no unfair restrictions on news trading for eligible accounts.
  • SiegAI™ Analysis: sentiment detection helps identify market bias before key events.
  • SiegTerminal: lightning-fast order execution with institutional-grade stability.

These tools transform reactive behaviour into strategic decision-making.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even seasoned traders can slip when adrenaline spikes.
Avoid these pitfalls:

Mistake Consequence Solution
Trading without a plan   Emotional, inconsistent outcomes Pre-plan entries/exits around news time 
 Ignoring spreads Stop-outs from widened spreads  Always check bid-ask range in SiegTerminal 
 Overtrading Burnout and unnecessary loss   Limit trades per event

Turning Volatility into an Edge

Volatility isn’t the enemy — it’s a source of liquidity and opportunity.
With practice and the right framework, traders can learn to position before key announcements, exploit post-release momentum, or hedge portfolios strategically.

SiegPath’s environment encourages that professional discipline — combining preparation, execution, and analysis.
When used together, these tools help you treat every event not as a gamble, but as a calculated play.

Prop Trading 2.0: How AI and Automation Are Redefining the Future of Funded Accounts
October 28, 2025
Explore how SiegPath’s AI-driven innovation and automation are shaping the next era of professional trading — Prop Trading 2.0.

The world of proprietary trading is evolving faster than ever. What was once a domain of human intuition, manual execution, and emotional decision-making is now being reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. Prop trading 2.0 marks a shift towards data-driven precision — where technology doesn’t replace traders but empowers them to perform with greater efficiency, consistency, and confidence.

For both aspiring and experienced traders, the rise of AI-driven tools and automated evaluation systems is redefining how funded accounts are earned, managed, and scaled. SiegPath is at the forefront of this transformation, merging fintech innovation with professional trading opportunities.

AI in Prop Trading: More Than a Buzzword

AI has become the defining force behind modern market analysis. Advanced algorithms now interpret price action, identify inefficiencies, and execute trades at lightning speed — capabilities that go far beyond traditional chart reading.

For prop firms, this means evaluations can be smarter and fairer. Instead of relying solely on static trading rules, AI can assess trader performance holistically — considering behaviour patterns, risk discipline, and adaptability to volatility.

At SiegPath, the proprietary SiegAI™ framework integrates machine learning and natural-language processing to help traders interpret data, analyse market sentiment, and make informed trading decisions. The result is not just faster trading, but smarter trading — where intuition is backed by intelligence.

Automation: From Challenge to Execution

Automation has streamlined nearly every stage of the trading journey. In the era of Prop Trading 2.0, automation touches everything from evaluation to execution and payout.

1. Automated Evaluations

Traditional evaluations often required manual monitoring and human oversight. SiegPath’s system automates risk-tracking, performance scoring, and rule verification in real time. Traders receive instant feedback on drawdowns, profit targets, and consistency metrics — making the process transparent, objective, and efficient.

2. Smarter Trade Execution

Within the SiegTerminal, automation supports multi-asset execution with minimal latency. Orders are routed through institutional-grade infrastructure, mirroring real-market conditions while maintaining reliability under pressure. This ensures traders can focus on strategy, not system limitations.

3. Seamless Fund Management

From evaluation completion to becoming a SiegCertified™ Trader, automated scaling and payout systems allow successful participants to transition swiftly into managing real capital. Transparency in every transaction builds trust — a core value of SiegPath’s fintech ecosystem.

Why Automation Benefits Traders

Automation doesn’t strip away control — it removes friction.
By handling repetitive or time-sensitive processes, automated systems allow traders to focus on what matters: market understanding, emotional discipline, and strategic decision-making.

Benefits include:

  • Faster feedback loops: Performance metrics update in real time, enabling rapid learning.
  • Reduced bias: Objective data replaces subjective judgement.
  • Enhanced risk control: Automated systems flag violations before they escalate.
  • Time efficiency: Traders spend more time analysing and less time managing logistics.

In short, automation transforms trading into a more structured, performance-driven profession — aligning with SiegPath’s mission to pave the path to professional trading.

The Rise of AI-Assisted Decision Making

While human creativity remains vital, AI can enhance objectivity. Through predictive analytics, AI tools can forecast probable market outcomes, identify correlations invisible to the naked eye, and even suggest optimal entry and exit zones.

When integrated with SiegPath’s ecosystem, these insights empower traders to test strategies, adapt to dynamic conditions, and refine performance over time — effectively turning data into a personal trading mentor.

Prop trading 2.0 is not about replacing humans with machines; it’s about creating symbiosis between the two. AI provides structure and insight, while human traders bring intuition, adaptability, and critical thinking.

Preparing for the Next Phase of Professional Trading

As the industry matures, only firms that embrace technological transparency will lead the next wave. SiegPath continues to invest in research and partnerships with financial institutions and brokers to deliver real-world trading environments that reflect institutional standards.

For traders, the message is clear: understanding how to leverage AI and automation is no longer optional — it’s essential. The future of funded trading will belong to those who can integrate technology with discipline, combining analytical power with human insight.

Conclusion: Paving the Path to the Future

Prop Trading 2.0 is here — and SiegPath is leading the way.
By embedding AI, automation, and fairness at every stage of its ecosystem, SiegPath enables traders not only to pass evaluations but to evolve into professionals capable of managing real capital with institutional precision.

The tools of the future are already in your hands — it’s time to trade smarter, not harder.
