🚀 Why 89% of Prop Firms BAN News Trading (But We Don't)
Discover the truth about prop firm news trading restrictions and why Phidias is different
If you've been searching for prop firms that allow news trading, you've probably discovered a harsh reality: most prop firms either completely ban news trading or impose severe restrictions that make it nearly impossible to profit from high-impact economic events. But here's what they don't tell you - these restrictions are costing traders massive opportunities every single month.
📊 The Brutal Truth About News Trading Restrictions
Why Most Prop Firms Fear News Trading
The majority of prop firms restrict news trading for several reasons that have nothing to do with trader success:
- Risk Management Concerns: They can't handle the volatility that comes with major economic announcements
- Technology Limitations: Their systems aren't built to handle the execution speed required during news events
- Lack of Expertise: They don't understand how to properly manage news trading risk
- Fear of Losses: They're afraid traders will be too successful and cost them money
But here's the thing - these same volatility spikes that scare other firms are exactly what create the most profitable trading opportunities. When NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) comes out and moves EUR/USD 150 pips in 15 minutes, that's not something to avoid - that's pure profit potential.
The Cost of These Restrictions to Traders
Most traders don't realize how much money they're losing by using prop firms with news trading restrictions. Let's put this into perspective:
- High-impact news events happen 15-20 times per month
- Each event can provide 50-200 pip moves within minutes
- Experienced news traders can capture 60-80% of these moves
- On a $100K account, this translates to $8,000-$15,000 in monthly opportunities
How We Turned News Trading Into Our Superpower
At Phidias, we took a completely different approach. Instead of fearing news events, we embraced them. Here's how we built the best prop firm for news trading:

🎯 Master News Trading: The Phidias Method
High-Impact News Events That Move Markets
Not all news events are created equal. Here are the high-impact events that create the biggest trading opportunities:
| News Event | Typical Market Impact | Best Currency Pairs | Average Move (Pips) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) | Extreme | EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY | 100-200 |
| FOMC Rate Decision | Extreme | All USD pairs | 150-300 |
| Consumer Price Index (CPI) | High | EUR/USD, USD/JPY | 80-150 |
| ECB Rate Decision | High | EUR/USD, EUR/GBP | 100-180 |
| GDP Releases | Medium | Respective currency pairs | 50-100 |
The 3-Step Phidias News Trading Strategy
Here's the proven methodology we've developed for prop firm news trading:
• Analyze the expected vs. previous numbers
• Identify key support and resistance levels
• Set up your trading platform with proper position sizing
• Place pending orders if your strategy requires them
• Wait for the initial spike to confirm direction
• Enter on the pullback or continuation
• Use proper risk management (1-2% risk per trade)
• Monitor for immediate profit-taking opportunities
• Trail stops to protect profits
• Look for secondary moves as dust settles
• Close positions before next major resistance
• Document the trade for future analysis
Risk Management for News Trading
Successful news trading isn't about taking bigger risks - it's about managing volatility intelligently. Here's how we approach news trading risk management:
- Position Sizing: Never risk more than 1-2% of account balance on any single news event
- Stop Loss Placement: Set stops beyond key technical levels, not arbitrary pip distances
- Profit Targets: Use a minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratio, aim for 1:3 or better
- Event Selection: Focus on high-impact events with clear directional bias
- Maximum Daily Risk: Never risk more than 5% of account in one trading day
🚨 Common News Trading Mistakes That Kill Accounts
Even with a prop firm that allows news trading, many traders still fail because they make these critical mistakes:
1. Over-Leveraging During Events
The biggest killer of news traders. Just because volatility is high doesn't mean you should risk more money.
2. Ignoring the Economic Calendar
Trading without knowing when major events happen is like driving blindfolded.
3. Poor Timing and Execution
Entering too early or too late during news events significantly reduces success rates.
4. No Pre-Event Plan
Winging it during high-volatility events is a recipe for disaster.
5. Revenge Trading After Losses
Trying to "get back" losses immediately after a failed news trade.
6. Wrong Pair Selection
Trading currency pairs that aren't directly affected by the news event.
