At FTG Funded, our mission is to empower traders worldwide with the flexibility, transparency, and tools they need to succeed. We continuously listen to our community and evolve our programs to match the real needs of serious traders.
One of the most requested updates has been about our News Trading Rule — and today, we’re excited to share a major improvement.
✅ The New Rule
News trading is now fully allowed across:
- 📊 Evaluation Phase 1
- 📊 Evaluation Phase 2
- 💼 Funded Accounts
This means you can:
- Open and close trades during high-impact or low-impact news events
- Generate profits from news trades and receive payouts as normal
- Trade with confidence, without fear of breaching account rules
🔎 What This Means for You
Before:
Traders were restricted from opening/closing trades 2 minutes before and after major news events on real accounts.
Now:
You have complete freedom to trade during news events in both Evaluation and Funded Accounts. All profits generated are fully eligible for payout, and your account remains 100% valid.
👉 This update applies immediately to all current Phase 1, Phase 2, and Funded traders.
⚠️ Important Note
News trading remains not allowed in:
- ⚡ FTG Express Demo accounts
- ⚡ FTG Express Real accounts
The rules for these models are unchanged.
💡 Key Takeaway
This update means FTG traders can now take full advantage of news-driven volatility — without limitations. It reflects our commitment to building a prop firm that grows with its traders.

- 📉 Smart risk management
