Exclusive Webinar: News & The Prop Trader, Surviving High-Impact Data
Every prop trader has been there. The charts are calm, the setup looks clean, and then a red folder event hits the calendar. Spreads widen, prices spike, and positions that looked solid a minute ago are suddenly underwater. High-impact news doesn't just move the market, it can undo weeks of disciplined trading in seconds.
That's exactly what this TradingPLUS webinar is built to fix.
Join us for News & The Prop Trader: Surviving High-Impact Data, a free live session designed to help funded and aspiring prop traders trade smarter around the news events that matter most. Whether you're managing a live funded account or still working toward one, this session will give you a practical framework for handling volatility without blowing your risk parameters.
What You'll Learn
Red Folder Events: Spotting the News That Moves Markets Not all economic data is created equal. We'll break down how to quickly identify red folder events on the calendar, the releases with the highest potential to move price violently, so you're never caught off guard by a surprise spike.
Account Protection: Rules for Trading Around News Learn simple, actionable rules to protect open positions before a major release drops. This isn't about complicated hedging theory, it's about practical habits that keep your account safe when volatility hits.
The Sit-Out Strategy: Why Doing Nothing Can Be Your Best Trade Sometimes the most profitable decision is no decision at all. We'll explain why stepping back during high-impact news often outperforms trying to trade through it, and how to build the discipline to actually do it.

Why This Matters for Prop Traders
For prop traders, surviving high-impact news isn't optional, it's a core skill. A single mistimed trade during a major data release can wipe out a funded account's drawdown allowance in minutes. This webinar cuts through the noise and gives you a clear, repeatable approach to news trading that protects your capital first and looks for opportunity second.
