Many traders skip NFP for fear of breaking a rule, yet news trading during a prop firm challenge<\/strong> is often allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complication starts after funding: opening a trade, keeping one open, and having a stop loss or take profit triggered can produce different outcomes. This guide compares the prop firm news trading rules<\/strong> at FTMO, FundedNext, E8 and The5ers, including FTMO\u2019s two-minute window and the treatment of trades held through NFP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Backcom.io compares rules checked on 16 October 2026, separates those three situations, and gives you a calendar checklist in UTC or your account\u2019s server time. Claims based only on third-party reviews are marked accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prop Firm News Trading Rules: Is News Trading During A Prop Firm Challenge Allowed?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

News trading during a prop firm challenge<\/strong> is generally permitted. In the official guidance checked on 16 October 2026, FTMO exempts Challenge and Verification accounts, FundedNext exempts Challenge accounts from its News Reward Share Rule, and E8 allows news trades during evaluation. Restrictions mainly affect certain funded accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deciding details are the stage and the specific account programme<\/strong>. The5ers High Stakes may be an exception: reviews suggest its two-minute window can apply during evaluation. That claim has not been confirmed against an official rule page, so check the programme terms before trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do firms restrict news trades after funding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
