Prop firm news trading rules
How news windows, profit haircuts, and execution bans differ, using only rules we could verify.
Key rules at a glance
- Drawdown How far the account can fall before it fails. A static floor stays put. A trailing floor follows profit.
- Static or trailing
- Daily loss The loss that ends the day. Soft means you can keep trading. Hard means the account stops.
- Hard, soft, or none
- Consistency A cap on how much profit can come from one day, or a daily profit cap that deletes the extra.
- Best-day cap
- Payout How often you can request a withdrawal, plus any wait, cap, or profit you must leave in.
- Cadence and gates
- News Whether a news release can block the order or take back most of the profit.
- Ban or haircut
Some firms let you trade the release. Some pay only part of the profit. Some block the order for a few minutes around the print.
A profit haircut is not the same as a ban. You can still be filled, then lose most of the winner.
An evaluation that allows news can still ban it on the funded account. Read the stage on the firm page.
We score no restriction 0, a profit adjustment 10, and an execution ban 15. No verified news line means we do not guess.
