Learn a simple news trading strategy for high-impact events like NFP, CPI, and FOMC, and which prop firms allow it.
News trading can be highly profitable but requires discipline. This guide covers a strategy and the best prop firms for news trading.
News trading involves entering positions before, during, or after high-impact economic releases to capture volatility.
Wait for the release, let the initial spike settle, then trade the continuation or reversal using key levels.
Always use stop losses and reduce position size around news. Slippage can be significant.
Some prop firms ban trading during news, others allow it with restrictions. Choose a firm that fits your style.
Many prop firms now allow news trading, but some still restrict during high-impact events. Always check the rules.
NFP and FOMC typically produce the largest moves. CPI and retail sales are also important.
Use limit orders, trade smaller size, and avoid the first few seconds after the release.
