News Trading

Also known as: high-impact news trading

Opening or holding trades around scheduled high-impact economic releases.

How it works

Around events like NFP or a rate decision, spreads widen and price gaps. Some prop firms ban trading within a few minutes of high-impact news; others allow it with restrictions.

At WICK FUNDED

WICK FUNDED allows news trading with a ±2-minute restriction around high-impact releases — broad enough to trade the move, narrow enough to keep fills realistic on the simulated feed.
