Persona context
How News traders think about prop firms.
News traders inhabit the seam of every prop firm's rulebook. The standard "no positions open during high-impact news" clause is interpreted differently by every firm: some define it as ± 2 minutes around release, some as ± 5, some as ± 30 — and some allow news trading but disqualify the profit if it's the dominant source. News strategies also tend to size aggressively (the asymmetric payoff justifies it), which makes the per-trade and daily caps a live concern: a 5R win on NFP can easily breach the consistency rule the same week. Spread widening at release is the second killer — most demo-priced challenges don't reflect the 15–40 pip spread blowouts that hit live accounts on tier-2 brokers.

The specific analysis
GetLeveraged Turbo × News traders.
News traders should avoid GetLeveraged Turbo. The firm runs the standard ±2-minute blackout (positions cannot be held through high-impact news), eliminating event-entry strategies. The 3% daily cap is tight enough that a single failed news fade can lock out the rest of the day. The 6% trailing drawdown adds compounding pressure: a successful news win moves the floor up immediately, so the very next event-day can busted on a slightly oversized loser. Among the supported firms, FTMO is the only one that explicitly permits holding through news, every other firm in the set restricts it. News traders are categorically better-served at FTMO. If GetLeveraged is the only available option (geographic, regulatory), restrict news strategies to post-release breakout / fade strategies rather than position-through-event.
Workarounds
- Use FTMO for news strategies and reserve GetLeveraged for steady-state
- If trading news here, enter ≥ 5 minutes after release with capped position size
- Halve normal risk on event days
Account killers
- Holding through CPI / NFP / FOMC = instant disqualification, no review
- A 3R news loser at 1% risk eats the entire daily cap
