Best prop firms for news trading

Many firms allow news trading during the evaluation and then restrict it once you are funded, typically a window of a few minutes before and after high-impact releases. These firms allow it at least in part. Read the note on each one before you trade a release.

How firms qualify: Firms that allow news trading on at least some accounts, best fit first.

Questions about this list

FAQ

Do prop firms allow news trading?

Most allow it during evaluations. On funded accounts many ban opening or closing trades within a set window around high-impact news, and some exclude profits made in that window. Some firms sell swing or 'news-friendly' accounts without the restriction.
