High Impact Events

NFP, CPI, FOMC, and GDP releases cause the most volatility. Many prop firms restrict trading 2 minutes before and after these events.

Check Your Rules

Each prop firm has different news trading rules. FTMO, FundedNext, and Goat Funded allow news trading. Others may restrict it.

Pro Tip

Reduce your position size by 50% or more around high-impact events. Protect your drawdown buffer — one bad news trade can bust your account.
