ALLOWED, RESTRICTED OR PARTLY CREDITED
Which Prop Firms Allow News Trading?
“News trading allowed” is too vague. Opening, closing, holding and retaining the full profit can each follow different rules in evaluation and funded stages.
Read the exact event window and action covered by the restriction. A provider may allow holding while blocking execution, or count only part of a profitable news trade.

What you will learn.
- 01Separate evaluation and funded stages
FTMO distinguishes evaluation rules from restrictions on selected events in Standard funded accounts. Swing rules differ. Check the exact account type; permission during an evaluation does not automatically continue after passing.
- 02Holding is different from executing
The5ers High Stakes permits holding through news while restricting execution in the two-minute window around high-impact events. Pending orders, stops and take-profit execution may also matter. Consult the current rule and provider time reference.
- 03Permission does not guarantee full profit credit
Some FundedNext programs apply different treatment to profitable news executions and losses in the funded stage. A trade can be permitted yet receive only partial profit credit. Verify the exact program and phase instead of generalising from the brand name.
- 04A practical news checklist
Look for the action and consequence in the rules, rather than only the word allowed.

A practical news checklist
Look for the action and consequence in the rules, rather than only the word allowed.
- Are opening, closing, pending triggers and SL/TP covered?
- Which events, calendar and time zone apply?
- Does the rule change after evaluation?
- Can profit be reduced while losses count in full?
- Could simulated spreads or slippage consume the loss buffer?
