No outright qualifier; some products are conditional
Conditional is not the same as unrestricted. Each card shows the exact mix because another product at the same firm may block the feature or leave it unpublished.

Product terms last captured Oct 14, 2026. Products older than 30 days are dropped until recaptured, so a missing product means stale data rather than a discontinued plan. Every source is linked beside its product; use the challenge comparison to compare price, risk and payout terms.
Ranked qualifying firms
Full product coverage ranks before partial coverage; editorial score decides the order within each coverage group.
Why this matters
The factors below are what we weight when ranking firms on this list.
News restrictions are common
Many firms block trades within 2–5 minutes of high-impact releases like NFP, CPI, and FOMC. Violating the window can void the account.
Spread widening risk
Even when news trading is allowed, spreads can blow out by 5–20× normal. Position-sizing matters more than at any other time.
Read the small print
Some firms allow news trading but restrict the strategy (no straddles, no holding into the release). Check both rules and the FAQ.
Frequently asked questions
Can I trade NFP at every prop firm?
No. Many firms automatically void trades that open within ±2 minutes of NFP or other Tier-1 releases. Always check the news-trading section of the rules — not just the marketing copy.
Is news trading more profitable at a prop firm?
Not necessarily. The wider spreads and slippage often eat the move. The advantage is firm capital, not the news itself. Treat the leverage as the edge, not the event.
Will my trades count if I violate the news rule?
Most firms void the trade and may close the account on repeat violations. Read the consequences section carefully — the punishment is usually stricter than the warning suggests.
