Looking back on choosing a prop firm over the last quarter
Today I spent some time reviewing how I approach choosing a prop firm. I try to avoid trading right before major news releases. I would love to hear how others deal with this.

Avoiding high-impact news releases is a classic way to protect your account from sudden slippage and extreme volatility. When trading with prop firms, managing news events is even more critical because unexpected spikes can easily breach strict daily loss limits or trigger specific news trading restrictions depending on the firm's evaluation rules.
Reviewing how different firms handle volatility and risk parameters is a great habit for every quarter. If you are comparing platforms, you can check individual firm breakdowns on our Prop Firm Reviews page to see how their terms align with your risk management style.
