20 Verified Firms Matching Backed by Official Terms Citations

Mathematical Definition & Calculation

Many prop firms claim "News Trading Allowed" on their marketing page, only to reveal in their support FAQ that executing orders within ±2 minutes of red-folder releases invalidates profits on funded accounts.

Execution window restriction = 0 seconds. Trades executed at 08:30:00 EST during US CPI are fully legitimate and eligible for profit share.

Hidden Trap / What to Watch For

Holding existing swing positions through news is almost universally allowed. The critical trap is *executing new market orders or filling pending stop/limit orders* during the release.
