On the funded account, news trading is not allowed. No trades may be opened, held, or closed within 10 minutes before or after a high-impact news event or speech. Violating this rule results in an immediate account breach.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step (Pro)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during the evaluation phase. On the funded account, news trading is allowed but news-influenced profits must not exceed 30% of total PnL. A news trade is defined as any position opened, held, or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event or speech. Trades held for 5 or more hours before the news release are exempt from this classification. If the 30% threshold is exceeded, payouts are delayed until additional trades bring the percentage below the limit.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Pro6)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during both evaluation phases. On the funded account, the same 30% PnL rule applies. News trades are defined as any position opened, held, or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact news event. Trades held for 5 or more hours before the release are exempt. Payouts are delayed if the 30% threshold is exceeded.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Pro10)<\/h3>\n<p>News trading is fully allowed during both evaluation phases. On the funded account, news trading is allowed subject to the same 30% PnL rule. The 5-minute window and 5-hour holding exemption apply. Payouts are delayed if news-influenced profits exceed 30% of total PnL.<\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for News Rule Violations<\/h3>\n<p>Funding Traders applies different consequences depending on the account type. On the Instant funded account, any news trading violation results in an immediate account breach with no warnings. On the 1 Step and 2 Step funded accounts, there is no breach for exceeding the 30% news PnL threshold. Payouts are delayed until additional trades bring the news-influenced profit percentage below 30%.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>Funding Traders takes a tiered approach to news trading. The Instant funded account has a strict 10-minute ban with immediate breach on violation. The 1 Step and 2 Step funded accounts allow news trading freely but cap news-influenced profits at 30% of total PnL. The 5-hour holding exemption gives structured traders flexibility to hold positions opened well before a news release. For traders who actively trade news, the 1 Step or 2 Step accounts are the appropriate choice, provided they manage the 30% PnL threshold carefully.<br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Learn more details and get exclusive discounts here: <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/funding-traders\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Funding Traders Prop Firm Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(37,99,235,0.7) 0%, rgba(96,165,250,0.55) 55%, rgba(203,213,225,0.45) 100%); border-radius: 16px; padding: 1px; margin-top: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(160deg, #0a0f22 0%, #0e1a3d 100%); border-radius: 15px; padding: 26px 22px; text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 22px; color: #ffffff; margin: 0 0 16px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.01em;\">Unlock Your Discount with Funding Traders<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/funding-traders\/\"><br \/>\n<button style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #1d4ed8 0%, #3b82f6 100%); color: #ffffff; padding: 12px 26px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; box-shadow: 0 4px 18px rgba(37,99,235,0.5); font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.02em;\">Get Discount<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(10,14,34,0.55); border: 1px solid rgba(37,99,235,0.22); border-radius: 14px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 14px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 16px; color: #ffffff;\">Is news trading allowed at Funding Traders?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #c7cfe6; font-size: 14.5px; line-height: 1.7;\">News trading is allowed on all evaluation and funded accounts except the Instant funded account.
