Prop Firms That Allow News Trading
Most prop firms restrict trade activity in a tight window around tier-1 economic news (NFP, CPI, FOMC, ECB) on funded accounts. The firms below either allow news trading outright or apply only a soft restriction.
News trading is the most heavily-restricted strategy in prop firm rule sets, and for a reason, the spread widens, slippage spikes, and the firm risk-management team sees a flood of one-direction trades that can clean out the dealer in seconds. The firms that permit news trading do so either because they route to a regulated broker that can hedge the flow, or because they have priced the risk into the higher evaluation fee.

Frequently asked questions
What is a tier-1 news event?
High-impact scheduled releases that move the major currency pairs by 30+ pips in seconds. NFP, CPI, FOMC, ECB rate decisions and PMI prints are the canonical examples.
Why do most firms restrict news trading only on funded accounts?
The evaluation phase is simulated against an internal feed with no real counterparty risk. The funded phase routes flow that the firm must hedge or warehouse, and news flow is the hardest to hedge.
Is news trading allowed on evaluations?
Almost universally yes. The restriction kicks in on the funded account after passing.
