News trading means opening or holding positions during major economic announcements like NFP, FOMC, CPI, and GDP releases. Many prop firms restrict this because high-volatility events increase the risk of slippage and outsized drawdowns.
A firm appears on this page if it offers at least one active challenge where news trading is explicitly permitted. Rules can vary between different challenge programs at the same firm.
For traders who rely on volatility around news events (scalpers, breakout traders, and macro-driven strategies), knowing which firms allow news trading is critical. Trading during restricted periods can result in profit forfeiture or account termination.
Some firms allow news trading but impose additional conditions such as wider spreads, restricted lot sizes, or mandatory stop-losses during events. Always check the specific challenge rules before trading news.
