News trading, firm by firm
If you trade NFP, CPI or rate decisions, this is the rule that disqualifies you without warning. Many firms apply it only during evaluation and lift it on funded accounts. Or the other way round.

The note beside each state is our reading of the rule, not the firm’s own wording, and some of them are written in Spanish. The source link on the row is what to check it against.
How many minutes, in the 35 firms that say so
“Restricted” tells you there is a window and not how wide. These come from each model, not from the firm-wide page, because the model is what applies to the account you buy.

They speak, but not to this question8
These firms publish a rule about copying trades and do not separate copying across your own accounts from copying someone else. The cell stays empty and their sentence is shown instead.

These firms may publish the rule on a page we have not verified, so it would be wrong to list them as silent. They are named because a gap with a name is worth more than a gap hidden in an average.

Frequently asked questions
How many prop firms allow news trading?
Of the 102 firms in the census, 19 allow it outright, 18 allow it with some condition and 1 forbid it. 8 mention the subject without answering. The other 56 are not verified at the source.
What does “with conditions” mean?
The firm allows it but attaches a requirement: a paid add-on, a time window, prior approval or a cap. It is published as a third state with the condition quoted beside it.
What if my firm is not in the list?
Then the rule is not verified for it, as for 56 firms. They are listed below by name.
Where does this data come from?
From each firm’s own website, never from another comparison site. The census cites 1,196 pages across 156 official domains, and of the readings behind this page the oldest is from 3 months ago. When two pages from the same firm contradict each other, both are published with their quote. Of the 38 rows above, 25 carry that firm’s own URL and the date it was read, and 13 do not. Those link to the firm’s sheet, where its sources are. That gap is ours.
