What we make

One product, on every screen you trade from.

Prop Firm News Shield reads the red folder news calendar and your firm’s news rule, then tells you if it is safe to trade the pair you picked. The same timer runs on all of these, with one license key.

Plus a free Economic Calendar with Forex Factory and Myfxbook data, for everyone.

How we work

Four rules we do not bend.

Warn, never trade

News Shield tells you what is coming. It never opens, closes or changes a trade, and never asks for your broker login.

Your firm’s rule, not a guess

Each prop firm and account type has its own news rule. We keep those rules inside the app, so the timer counts to your window.

Pay once

Passes are one-time payments for 3, 6 or 12 months. No subscription, no renewal and no surprise charge.

Keep as little as we can

Your email, your license key and your saved presets. Nothing about your trades, balance or positions.

Why did we build this?

The short version: traders kept losing payouts to a rule they knew about.
