# Prop Firms That Allow News Trading

9 futures prop firms we track publish a policy on news trading. The usual condition is a time window rather than a ban — entries may be blocked for a few minutes either side of a high-impact release, while holding through the event is usually fine. At some firms the rule also varies by account type, so check which account you are on before you trade a release.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Usually, with limits. 11 of the 42 firms publishing a policy allow news trading with no restriction, 27 apply conditions such as a time window, and 3 prohibit it.

A blackout period around a scheduled high-impact release — commonly 2 to 5 minutes before and after. Within it you cannot open or close a position. Most firms that use a window still allow you to hold a position through the event if it was opened beforehand.

Spreads widen and execution slips during releases, so a trade filled at an unusual price can produce a profit the firm cannot hedge. The restriction protects the firm's book rather than the trader's account.

At some firms, yes, and the difference can be total. Instant funding and zero-drawdown products carry the strictest rules, because the firm has more capital at risk from the first trade.

Rules change without notice and vary by account type. Confirm with the firm before you trade.
