What is News trading rule?
By the verify.trading team · Last reviewed · How we write
A news trading rule restricts opening or holding trades around high-impact economic releases, for a window of time set by the prop firm.
Key points
- Window around high-impact events.
- Which events count varies by firm.
- Use the calendar to see when they fall.
News trading rule explained
Firms that apply one typically specify how many minutes before and after a release the restriction covers, and which events count. Breaching it can void profits or fail the account, depending on the firm.
The economic calendar shows when releases fall. The rule itself always has to be read from the firm.
