News Trading On A Funded Account
News Trading means trading the volatility around scheduled economic releases. On a funded account you can run it with up to $400K of firm capital and keep up to 100% of the profits.
Is News Trading allowed on a funded account?
Yes. News Trading is allowed at GET FUNDED as long as you stay inside the risk rules. The setup that works best needs firms that explicitly allow news trading and fast, low-slippage execution.
Spreads widen and slippage spikes around the release, so entries, stops and size all have to account for it.
How to pass the evaluation with News Trading
Run news trading at a small, fixed risk per trade and protect the 4% daily loss limit above all else. Bank the profit target in steady pieces rather than forcing it, and walk away once you've hit your daily goal.
The traders who pass are rarely the flashiest; they're the ones who never breach the daily limit.
Choosing an account size for News Trading
Match the account to how news trading uses risk. If your style needs room to breathe, a larger account gives a bigger drawdown buffer; if you trade small and often, a smaller account keeps the fee low while you build a payout history.
