Which is the best broker for news trading?

[shanmugapradeep]

Hello,

I trade during high-impact news events like CPI, NFP, PPI, and others with ICMarkets. Everything is working fine and I’m making profits.

ICMarkets allows trade execution even 1 second before the news release, which is great. However, during news time, the market becomes extremely volatile and sometimes creates large price gaps. Because of this, I occasionally end up with a negative balance. Unfortunately, ICMarkets does not offer negative balance protection for clients outside Australia.

Can anyone suggest a good forex broker for news trading that allows fast execution (1 second before news) and provides negative balance protection?

For high-impact news trading, consider brokers like Pepperstone, FP Markets, or RoboForex—they offer fast execution and negative balance protection globally. Check if their news trading policies fit your strategy. Always verify execution speed, slippage, and regional protections before switching. Test with a demo account first to ensure reliability during volatile events.

Pepperstone, FP Markets, or RoboForex

Roboforex have very poor review : https://www.trustpilot.com/review/roboforex.com

Pepperstone and FP Markets is good but Leverage is too low. I am looking atleast 1000 Leverage

Some brokers like HFM offers 1:1000 on micro accounts and leverage of up to 1:400 on their regular accounts however there are some crazy offers like 1:3000 which seems pretty unrealistic to me and new traders being unaware of the market conditions should keep the leverage low in start since the high leverage can claim higher damages too.

I tried HFM. In News time it unable to open a trade even before 30 seconds. they are not good for instant execution or fast execution.

The latest reply recommends Pepperstone and HFM for news execution and negative-balance protection. I’ve been trading news for 3 years—used them both for NFP and never had negative balance issues. Demo it first to verify slippage during volatility
