News Trading Restriction
A rule that prohibits or limits trading during high-impact news events like NFP, FOMC, or CPI releases.
How It Works
Many prop firms restrict trading around major economic news releases due to extreme volatility and slippage risk. Restrictions typically apply to a window of 2-15 minutes before and after events like Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), Federal Reserve (FOMC) decisions, and Consumer Price Index (CPI) releases.
Some firms completely ban trading during news, others just prohibit opening new positions (allowing you to close existing ones). News trading restrictions are more common in forex prop firms and less common in futures firms.
If your strategy relies on news trading, this is a critical factor in choosing a firm.
