News Trading Indices On A Funded Account
Combining News Trading with Indices on a funded account lets you run a focused playbook with up to $400K of firm capital. Indices trades around the cash and futures sessions of each exchange, and news trading is trading the volatility around scheduled economic releases.
Why news trading Indices?
Indices offers clean trends and strong reactions to economic data, which pairs well with news trading. Index volatility spikes around the US cash open and major data releases, so risk has to be sized for fast moves.
For news trading specifically you want firms that explicitly allow news trading and fast, low-slippage execution, and Indices 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
