<![CDATA[prop firm news trading restrictions, how much do they affect you]]>most prop firms have news trading restrictions - cant hold positions during high-impact news, cant open during release windows, must close before specific events. each firm has slightly different rules and 'covered' news lists.

for traders who include news catalysts in strategy: how restrictive do you find prop firm rules in practice? do they cause you to skip otherwise profitable setups?
