We checked 18 prop firms against the moments an ICT or SMC trader actually trades: a London-session position still open at the 8:30 a.m. ET CPI or NFP release, a limit order resting at a New York fair value gap, the 10:00 a.m. release at the Silver Bullet open and the 2:00 p.m. FOMC statement. Sixteen products pass. In futures, Topstep’s Trading Combine 50K ($95 a month, $47.50 per $1,000 of loss room) and Bulenox Momentum 50K Option 2 ($143 once) block no kill-zone minutes and allow resting orders; MyFundedFutures Builder and TradeDay Fast Pass block 4 minutes around the release. In forex and CFDs, only E8 Pro 50K ($248) and City Traders Imperium’s 2-Step ($329) have no news window; FundingPips, Alpha Capital Group and FundedNext block 10 minutes, and FTMO counts a stop-loss filled at 8:29 as a breach. Take Profit Trader (funded floor trails open profit) and Alpha Futures (queued payouts) fail the test.
