Best Prop Firms That Allow News Trading 2026

The most trusted prop firm globally. 11 years of documented payout history, 6 evaluation sizes, and support for 40+ instruments across forex, commodities, indices, and crypto.

Best profit split in the industry at 90% from day one. Stellar evaluation model with low minimum days, fast payouts, and a large community of funded traders.

Best for swing traders — no minimum trading days, no consistency rule, and full news trading and weekend holding. Trailing drawdown requires attention.

Fifty percent feels low next to FundedNext's 90 — until you realize The5ers actually gets you to 100% over time, not just on a slide deck.

Funding Pips built a following among traders who got tired of FTMO's stricter rule book — and the weekend-and-news flexibility shows why.

Twenty simultaneous funded accounts. No one else on this list gets remotely close to that number.

Funded Trading Plus is the only major forex prop firm where the profit split genuinely reaches 100% — hit 30% cumulative profit and every dollar after that is yours, backed by a real four-and-a-half-year track record and $19.5M+ in verified payouts.

Topstep has been doing this since 2012. In futures prop, that makes it the elder statesman by a wide margin.

Established in 2018 with genuine one-on-one mentorship from a co-founder, City Traders Imperium offers splits up to 100% and a real 4.3-4.5 Trustpilot rating from over 1,100 reviews — one of the more credible names in this batch.

Miss your own payout guarantee, and your trader's split jumps to 100%. That's a strange incentive to build into your own pricing — and it's clever.

DNA Funded backs its prices with a regulated broker behind it — rare in this space, and worth something on its own.

Broker-backed by Purple Trading with a genuine 4.8 Trustpilot rating and $20M+ paid out, Fintokei's SwiftTrader plan offers a real 100% profit split from day one — a rare, verifiable claim in an industry full of exaggerated ones.

Alpha Capital Group doesn't lead the pack on any single number, but a consistent 4.4-star rating across multiple sites says something too.

Tradeify built its entire pitch around one specific complaint: the consistency rule that gets profitable traders denied elsewhere.

Aqua Funded sits in the same $4 million scaling tier as Blue Guardian and The5ers, just without a standout feature of its own yet.

Bulenox lets you run EAs on a funded account. That alone separates it from almost every other futures firm on this list.

Atmos Funded backs its pricing with a real broker (Taurex) and eliminates trailing drawdown entirely on its main plans — a genuinely trader-friendly structural choice, still building its multi-year track record.

Backed by an actual multi-regulated broker (Moneta Markets, FCA/ASIC/FSCA licensed), Moneta Funded pays a flat 88% split across every account type — genuinely new, launched only in late 2025, so treat it as an early-adopter play.

Backed by the 30-year-old, multi-regulated Hantec Group, Hantec Trader offers real institutional credibility — but a documented 'buffer rule' resets your drawdown to starting balance after your first withdrawal, catching multiple traders off guard.

BEM Funding responds to nearly every Trustpilot review and offers a clean no-consistency-rule structure on several plans, but 'account denied after passing' is the single most common complaint pattern across independent reviews.
