News Trading Futures On A Funded Account
Combining News Trading with Futures on a funded account lets you run a focused playbook with up to $400K of firm capital. Futures trades across near-continuous electronic sessions, and news trading is trading the volatility around scheduled economic releases.
Why news trading Futures?
Futures offers centralised liquidity and transparent volume, which pairs well with news trading. Futures carry contract specifications and roll dates that every trader should understand before sizing positions.
For news trading specifically you want firms that explicitly allow news trading and fast, low-slippage execution, and Futures can provide exactly that during its most active hours.
Rules and risk
The funded-account framework applies the same way: a 4% max daily loss, a 7% max drawdown and a profit target. Spreads widen and slippage spikes around the release, so entries, stops and size all have to account for it.
Keep risk per trade small and fixed, and protect the daily loss limit no matter how good a setup looks.
Getting funded
Pick an account size that fits your news trading position sizing, pass the evaluation, and trade Futures with firm capital. You keep up to 100% of profits with payouts in hours.
