Challenges in South Africa

Prop firms in South Africa that offer News Trading Permission

Q: What is news trading in a prop challenge?

News trading refers to opening, holding, or closing positions around scheduled high-impact economic events such as NFP, CPI, or central bank announcements.

Q: Why do some prop firms restrict news trading?

Firms restrict news trading to control slippage risk and protect their capital from large, unpredictable moves. Some simulated environments cannot replicate news-time execution accurately.

Q: Do news trading permissions apply to both evaluation and funded accounts?

Usually yes, but always verify. Some firms allow news trading during challenges but restrict it on funded accounts, or vice versa.
