Futures Prop Firm Rule Changes. Tracked Daily.
Your morning update on futures prop firm rule changes, refreshed overnight.
We track the published rules and policies of 32 futures prop firms and keep every version, so when a firm edits a rule we have the before and after in writing. Most of what changes is really nothing: a fixed typo, a clarified sentence, a word added here and there. But real changes stand out fast, and you can literally watch rules and policies tighten line by line. Payout terms creep, consistency thresholds drop, and prices quietly climb. It works the other way too: sometimes payouts improve and rules loosen, and when that happens it’s usually one of our Premier firms.
Most of the tightening shows up on the Unlisted side, firms we track but haven’t listed on PickAPropFirm.com. When a firm with a rough reputation starts gaining traction on rock-bottom prices, promoted by affiliates who would scam their own grandma for a commission, the discount usually costs you somewhere else, and that somewhere shows up here. If a plan looks too good to be true, it almost always is.
Starred changes are the ones we think deserve your attention; the full feed below is everything we caught, right down to the typo fixes.
Treat this page like your morning paper. It updates overnight, so grab your coffee and see what changed. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

We split that step out and call it the Buffer Zone. It is where you build the balance that carries into your Sim Funded account, and it is deliberately gentler than the evaluation you just passed: a smaller target and no daily loss limit.
Account size | Profit target | Drawdown | Consistency | Largest single day
25K | $1,500 | $1,200 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $510 (34% of target)
50K | $3,000 | $2,000 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target)
100K | $3,500 | $2,500 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,190 (34% of target)
150K | $2,000 | $-1,000 Static | 34% | $680 (34% of target)
200K | $3,000 | $-2,000 Static | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target)
300K | $3,500 | $-2,500 Static | 21% | $735 (21% of target)
And if you fail it, you reset the Buffer Zone on its own. Your evaluation still stands — you never go back to the beginning. Resets are $250 each for the first three, then $300 for resets four to six, $350 for seven to nine, and so on. If your Buffer Zone had already passed into Sim Funded, a reset is $500. These are the Propel Buffer Zone reset prices.
Phase 3 — Sim Funded
Your account is still simulated, but the profits are real and you can withdraw them. There is no profit target here — the job is to keep trading well.
Account size | Starting balance | Minimum balance | Payout minimum | 7-day payout cap
Section: Phase 3 — Sim Funded
− 25K | $1,500 | $100 | $250 | $1,500
− 50K | $3,000 | $100 | $250 | $2,500
− 100K | $3,500 | $100 | $250 | $3,000
− 150K | $2,000 | $100 | $250 | $1,500
− 200K | $3,000 | $100 | $250 | $2,500
− 300K | $3,500 | $100 | $250 | $3,000
Payouts can be requested daily, Monday to Friday, on any balance above your starting balance. Requests made before 11am ET are processed the same trading day. While Sim Funded, stop trading for the day once you are $5,000 up and for the week once you are $10,000 up — passing $10,000 in total profit triggers a review for Live Brokerage, where the caps come off entirely.
Nothing is charged during this phase. Your subscription ended at the evaluation.
How the consistency rule works
The consistency rule keeps your biggest day in proportion to the rest of your trading. We compare your largest single profitable day against the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are left out of the calculation entirely — many firms divide by your net profit instead, which shrinks the number you are measured against and makes the rule harder to satisfy.
Here is a week counted both ways. Say you made $1,000 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $600 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $600 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,000 + $900 + $900 + $600 = $3,400. Your biggest day of $1,000 is 29.4% of that — inside the 34% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,400 − $600 = $2,800. The same $1,000 day is now 35.7% — outside the same rule. ❌
The 300K works to a 21% rule instead, so the same week would need your profit spread across more days to comply.
Being out of consistency does not fail your account. It is checked when you request a payout or try to pass a phase, and you fix it by trading on — every additional profitable day grows the total you are measured against and brings your percentage down.
Resetting a Propel evaluation
Most traders do not pass first time. A reset clears the days traded, the balance and the rules by creating a fresh evaluation account, so you can try again without buying a new plan.

1 mini = 10 micros.
Both options share the same risk logic. Option 1 uses the trailing drawdown. Option 2 uses the end-of-day drawdown together with a daily loss limit and has no scaling plan.
On both options the drawdown follows the balance upward and then stops for good once it reaches the starting balance plus $100. From that point it is a fixed floor and no longer moves.
On Option 2 the daily loss limit stays active for the whole life of the account and is never lifted. The $25,000 Option 2 account is the exception: it has no daily loss limit.

− End of Day (EOD): the drawdown policy is based on closed profits at the end of each trading day and follows a trailing system, with the Max Loss Limit set relative to your account balance at the close. If the account has a losing day, the drawdown remains unchanged: it only increases after a profitable day. Intraday swings and open profit never move it. Once enough profits have been accumulated (profit equal to your drawdown amount), the drawdown locks at the account's starting balance and stops trailing. From that point, the worst case on the account is breaking even.
If your account closes a day at or below the Max Loss Limit, the account is breached. A drawdown breach is final: positions are liquidated and the account cannot be recovered. To trade again you can reset the account or start a new challenge.

Every release goes through a risk check first. Fifteen days built on discipline release on the day. Fifteen days built on reckless sizing can be held while the risk team reviews the account.
Getting Paid
Payouts run daily, with a $200 minimum. You can withdraw your live profits above the cushion, plus any Reserve that has been released to you. Locked Reserve cannot be withdrawn, but released money can be used for margin.
Once the cushion unlocks, you can withdraw everything down to $0. The smart play: fill the cushion, log your fifteen days, and by then your own money is covering the floor.
Earning Back Your Reserve
Your Reserve unlocks in steps, based on your live results.
Step 1: prove yourself. Nothing unlocks until you have both:
- 15 profitable trading days on your live account, the same days that unlock your cushion
- $5,000 in total live profits
Step 2: earn it out. After that, every extra $5,000 of profit unlocks $2,500 of Reserve. Unlocks are processed once a week, and they continue until your Reserve is empty.
Every unlock goes through a risk check first. Traders who gamble, oversize, or trade recklessly lose their right to unlocks. The Reserve rewards discipline, nothing else.

Section: Running Multiple Accounts
− Have more than one funded account? They all convert when you move up, but only 3 live accounts run at the same time:
− - Your first 3 accounts go live, each starting at $0 with its own $2,000 floor and its own cushion
− - Any extra accounts convert too, but their money waits in Reserve, in a queue
− - A spot opens when one of your live accounts empties its Reserve or is closed. The next account in line then goes live with a fresh $2,000 floor
− Queued money is still yours. It follows the normal unlock rules once its account goes live. Our risk team decides the order and timing.
Hedging Means Removal
Holding a long and a short position in the same instrument at the same time is banned. This applies inside one account and across any accounts you control.
This is not just our rule. In the live market, taking both sides under one owner can count as wash trading, which CME Group exchange rules prohibit. You are on a real exchange now, and its rules apply to you.
A trader caught hedging is banned immediately and permanently. Every account is closed and all locked Reserve is lost.
Losing a Live Account
If a trading day closes below your loss floor, the account is gone. Its balance, including any cushion still held, goes with it. Its locked Reserve is lost, and you must wait 1 month before buying a new evaluation with us.
Walkthrough
A trader moves live with five $50,000 funded accounts, each holding $5,000 in sim profits:
- Each account is under the $12,000 cap, so the full $25,000 converts into Reserve
- Three accounts go live, each at $0 with a $2,000 floor and a $1,000 cushion. Two wait in the queue
- On each live account, the floor moves up with every new best close and stops at $0
- There is no daily loss limit. The floor is the only line that matters

What the page said before and after
Before
Section: Live Trading Program
− Real market. Real capital. This guide explains how our live program works: how you qualify, what happens to your profits, the loss floor and payouts.
How You Qualify
Going live is earned. Our risk team decides who moves up, usually through one of these paths:
- You collect the fifth and final payout on your plan
- You have withdrawn a large amount with us over time
- Your sim funded results are outstanding
- You have traded live with us before
Payout 5 is the top of the payout ladder, not a requirement. Every move to live is a decision made by our risk team.
What Transfers with You
When you move to live, the profits on your funded account turn into live capital, up to a cap based on your account size. Anything above the cap does not carry over.
You do not get this money right away. It goes into your Reserve, and you earn it back by trading well. More on that below.
Account Size | Conversion Cap
$25,000 | $6,000
$50,000 | $12,000
$75,000 | $14,000
$100,000 | $16,000
$150,000 | $20,000
Your Live Account at a Glance
Every live account starts at $0. Below your balance sits a $2,000 loss floor on 50K. That is our capital, and it covers your losses while you get started in the real market.
- Starting balance: $0
Section: Your Live Account at a Glance
− - Loss floor: $2,000 below your balance on 50K (Loss floor depends on account size)
- Daily loss limit: none
- Payouts: daily, $200 minimum
- Contracts: capped by account size
− Account Size | Loss Floor | Max Contracts (Mini/Micro)
− $25,000 | $1,000 | 1 / 10
− $50,000 | $2,000 | 2 / 20
− $75,000 | $2,500 | 3 / 30
− $100,000 | $3,000 | 4 / 40
− $150,000 | $4,500 | 5 / 50
The Loss Floor
Your loss floor starts $2,000 below your $0 balance. It moves only once per day, at the market close:
- If today's close is your best close so far, the floor moves up to sit $2,000 below it
- If not, the floor stays where it is
- The floor never moves during the session. If you dip below it during the day but close above it, your account is safe
- Once the floor reaches $0, it stops there for good
You only lose the account if a trading day closes below the floor.
Section: The Loss Floor
− Covering your floor. Once you have made $2,000 in live profits, your own money covers the floor and ours is no longer at risk. This matters when you want to get paid, as explained next.
Getting Paid
Section: Getting Paid
− Payouts run daily, with a $200 minimum. You can withdraw your live profits plus any Reserve that has been released to you. Locked Reserve cannot be withdrawn, but released money can be used for margin.
− Withdrawing early costs you. You can request a payout at any time. But if you do it before covering your floor, the floor jumps to $100 below your balance after the withdrawal, and it stays there forever. After that, one bad day ends the account. The smart play: make your first $2,000, cover your floor, then withdraw freely.
Earning Back Your Reserve
Your Reserve unlocks in steps, based on your live results.
Step 1: prove yourself. Nothing unlocks until you have both:
Section: Earning Back Your Reserve
− - 10 profitable trading days on your live account
- $5,000 in total live profits
Step 2: earn it out. After that, every extra $5,000 of profit unlocks $2,500 of Reserve. Unlocks are processed once a week, and they continue until your Reserve is empty.
Every unlock goes through a risk check first. Traders who gamble, oversize, or trade recklessly lose their right to unlocks. The Reserve rewards discipline, nothing else.

− - When a live account empties its Reserve or closes, a queued account goes live with its own $2,000 floor
− - Profits and unlocked Reserve are paid out daily, from $200
Common Questions
When do I move to live? When our risk team decides. The usual paths are your fifth and final payout, large lifetime withdrawals, standout sim results, or past live history with us. Payout 5 is a ceiling, not a requirement.
Do I start live with a balance? No. Every live account starts at $0 with a $2,000 loss floor of our capital below it. Your converted profits sit in your Reserve, and you earn them back by trading well.
Section: Common Questions
− How much of my sim profit converts?
− Up to your cap: $6,000 on the $25K, up to $20,000 on the $150K. Anything above the cap does not carry over.
− How does the loss floor move?
− Only at the daily close. It moves up to sit $2,000 below each new best close, and it stops for good once it reaches $0. Dipping below the floor during the day does not end the account. Only closing the day below it does.
− Is there a daily loss limit?
− No. The loss floor is the only loss limit on a live account.
− What if I withdraw before covering my floor? You can, but it costs you. The floor locks to $100 below your balance after the withdrawal and never moves again. Cover your floor first ($2,000 in live profits), then withdraw with no penalty.
− How do I unlock my Reserve?
− First hit both marks: 10 profitable days and $5,000 in total live profits. After that, every extra $5,000 in profits unlocks $2,500 of Reserve, once a week. Reckless trading ends your unlocks.
− I have several funded accounts. Do they all go live?
− Only 3 at a time. The rest wait in a queue, and each one goes live when one of your active accounts empties its Reserve or closes.
− Can I hedge?
− No. Holding both sides of the same instrument, in any of your accounts, means an immediate permanent ban and the loss of all locked Reserve. Under CME Group rules it can also count as wash trading in the live market.
− What happens if I lose my live account?
− The account closes, its locked Reserve is lost, and you wait 1 month before buying a new evaluation.
− How often are payouts?
− Daily, with a $200 minimum. They cover your live profits and your unlocked Reserve.

Section: Live Trading Program
+ Live Trading Program
+ Real market. Real capital. This guide explains how our live program works: how you qualify, what happens to your profits, the loss floor, the cushion and payouts.
How You Qualify
Going live is earned. Our risk team decides who moves up, usually through one of these paths:
- You collect the fifth and final payout on your plan
- You have withdrawn a large amount with us over time
- Your sim funded results are outstanding
- You have traded live with us before
Payout 5 is the top of the payout ladder, not a requirement. Every move to live is a decision made by our risk team.
What Transfers with You
When you move to live, the profits on your funded account turn into live capital, up to a cap based on your account size. Anything above the cap does not carry over.
You do not get this money right away. It goes into your Reserve, and you earn it back by trading well. More on that below.
Account Size | Conversion Cap
$25,000 | $6,000
$50,000 | $12,000
$75,000 | $14,000
$100,000 | $16,000
$150,000 | $20,000
Your Live Account at a Glance
Every live account starts at $0. Below your balance sits a $2,000 loss floor on 50K. That is our capital, and it covers your losses while you get started in the real market.
- Starting balance: $0
Section: Your Live Account at a Glance
+ - Loss floor: $2,000 below your balance on 50K (loss floor depends on account size)
+ - Live Cushion: half your loss floor, $1,000 on 50K, held until you log 15 profitable days
- Daily loss limit: none
- Payouts: daily, $200 minimum
- Contracts: capped by account size
+ Account Size | Loss Floor | Live Cushion | Daily Minimum | Max Contracts (Mini/Micro)
+ $25,000 | $1,000 | $500 | $75 | 1 / 10
+ $50,000 | $2,000 | $1,000 | $150 | 2 / 20
+ $75,000 | $2,500 | $1,250 | $225 | 3 / 30
+ $100,000 | $3,000 | $1,500 | $300 | 4 / 40
+ $150,000 | $4,500 | $2,250 | $450 | 5 / 50
The Loss Floor
Your loss floor starts $2,000 below your $0 balance. It moves only once per day, at the market close:
- If today's close is your best close so far, the floor moves up to sit $2,000 below it
- If not, the floor stays where it is
- The floor never moves during the session. If you dip below it during the day but close above it, your account is safe
- Once the floor reaches $0, it stops there for good
You only lose the account if a trading day closes below the floor.
Section: The Loss Floor
+ Covering your floor. Once you have made $2,000 in live profits, your own money covers the floor and ours is no longer at risk. The cushion, explained next, gets you there.
+ The Live Cushion
+ The cushion is half of your starting loss floor. On a 50K it is $1,000. It is the part of your early live profits that stays in the account until you have shown us fifteen good days.
+ Building it. Your first profits fill the cushion. On a 50K, the first $1,000 you make stays in the account. Anything above that is yours to withdraw from day one.
+ Unlocking it. The cushion releases once you have logged 15 profitable days. The same 15 days open the door to your Reserve unlocks. The days do not need to be in a row. A day counts when the session closes with realised profit at or above the daily minimum for your account size, $150 on a 50K.
+ After the unlock. You can withdraw down to $0. Nothing is held back, and the loss floor keeps trailing exactly as before.
+ No penalty for withdrawing. Withdrawals above the cushion never change your loss floor. The cushion is a withdrawal limit, nothing else.
+ Every release goes through a risk check first. Fifteen days built on discipline release on the day. Fifteen days built on reckless sizing can be held while the risk team reviews the account.
Getting Paid
Section: Getting Paid
+ Payouts run daily, with a $200 minimum. You can withdraw your live profits above the cushion, plus any Reserve that has been released to you. Locked Reserve cannot be withdrawn, but released money can be used for margin.
+ Once the cushion unlocks, you can withdraw everything down to $0. The smart play: fill the cushion, log your fifteen days, and by then your own money is covering the floor.
Earning Back Your Reserve
Your Reserve unlocks in steps, based on your live results.
Step 1: prove yourself. Nothing unlocks until you have both:
Section: Earning Back Your Reserve
+ - 15 profitable trading days on your live account, the same days that unlock your cushion
- $5,000 in total live profits
Step 2: earn it out. After that, every extra $5,000 of profit unlocks $2,500 of Reserve. Unlocks are processed once a week, and they continue until your Reserve is empty.
Every unlock goes through a risk check first. Traders who gamble, oversize, or trade recklessly lose their right to unlocks. The Reserve rewards discipline, nothing else.
Running Multiple Accounts
Have more than one funded account? They all convert when you move up, but only 3 live accounts run at the same time:
Section: Running Multiple Accounts
+ - Your first 3 accounts go live, each starting at $0 with its own $2,000 floor and its own cushion
- Any extra accounts convert too, but their money waits in Reserve, in a queue
- A spot opens when one of your live accounts empties its Reserve or is closed. The next account in line then goes live with a fresh $2,000 floor
Queued money is still yours. It follows the normal unlock rules once its account goes live. Our risk team decides the order and timing.
Hedging Means Removal
Holding a long and a short position in the same instrument at the same time is banned. This applies inside one account and across any accounts you control.
This is not just our rule. In the live market, taking both sides under one owner can count as wash trading, which CME Group exchange rules prohibit. You are on a real exchange now, and its rules apply to you.
A trader caught hedging is banned immediately and permanently. Every account is closed and all locked Reserve is lost.
Losing a Live Account
Section: Losing a Live Account
+ If a trading day closes below your loss floor, the account is gone. Its balance, including any cushion still held, goes with it. Its locked Reserve is lost, and you must wait 1 month before buying a new evaluation with us.
Walkthrough
A trader moves live with five $50,000 funded accounts, each holding $5,000 in sim profits:
- Each account is under the $12,000 cap, so the full $25,000 converts into Reserve
Section: Walkthrough
+ - Three accounts go live, each at $0 with a $2,000 floor and a $1,000 cushion. Two wait in the queue
- On each live account, the floor moves up with every new best close and stops at $0
- There is no daily loss limit. The floor is the only line that matters
- Each live account can hold up to 2 minis or 20 micros
+ - The first $1,000 of profit on each account fills its cushion. Everything above it is withdrawable daily from $200
+ - Every session that closes with $150 or more in realised profit counts as a profitable day. After 15 of them on an account, that account's cushion unlocks and the trader can withdraw down to $0
+ - After 15 profitable days and $5,000 in total profits, Reserve unlocks begin: $2,500 of Reserve for every extra $5,000 earned, once a week
+ - When a live account empties its Reserve or closes, a queued account goes live with its own $2,000 floor and $1,000 cushion
+ - Profits above the cushion and unlocked Reserve are paid out daily, from $200
Common Questions
When do I move to live? When our risk team decides. The usual paths are your fifth and final payout, large lifetime withdrawals, standout sim results, or past live history with us. Payout 5 is a ceiling, not a requirement.
Do I start live with a balance? No. Every live account starts at $0 with a $2,000 loss floor of our capital below it. Your converted profits sit in your Reserve, and you earn them back by trading well.
Section: Common Questions
+ How much of my sim profit converts? Up to your cap: $6,000 on the $25K, up to $20,000 on the $150K. Anything above the cap does not carry over.

+ What is the Live Cushion? Half of your starting loss floor, $1,000 on a 50K. Your first profits fill it and it stays in the account until you have logged 15 profitable days. It is your money, held, not taken.
+ Can I withdraw before the cushion is full? No. The cushion fills first. On a 50K, your first $1,000 of profit stays in the account, and everything above it is withdrawable daily.
+ Can I withdraw before the fifteen days are done? Yes, anything above the cushion. The fifteen days only decide when the cushion itself becomes withdrawable.
+ What counts as a profitable day? A session that closes with realised profit at or above the daily minimum for your size: $75 on the 25K, $150 on the 50K, $225 on the 75K, $300 on the 100K, $450 on the 150K. Closing at $140 on a 50K is a green day, but it does not count. A $600 day counts as one day, not more.
+ Do the fifteen days have to be in a row? No. Losing days in between do not reset anything. Only the count of profitable days matters, and there is no deadline.
+ Does withdrawing change my loss floor? No. The floor trails on best close and never reacts to a withdrawal. The cushion is a withdrawal limit, nothing else.
+ How do I unlock my Reserve? First hit both marks: 15 profitable days and $5,000 in total live profits. They are the same 15 days that unlock your cushion, so one count does both. After that, every extra $5,000 in profits unlocks $2,500 of Reserve, once a week. Reckless trading ends your unlocks.
+ Is the cushion the same as my Reserve? No. The Reserve is your converted sim profit. The cushion is profit earned on the live account. Both use the same count of 15 profitable days, and the Reserve also needs $5,000 in total live profits before its first unlock. Each live account has its own cushion and its own count.
+ I have several funded accounts. Do they all go live? Only 3 at a time. The rest wait in a queue, and each one goes live when one of your active accounts empties its Reserve or closes.
+ Can I hedge? No. Holding both sides of the same instrument, in any of your accounts, means an immediate permanent ban and the loss of all locked Reserve. Under CME Group rules it can also count as wash trading in the live market.
+ What happens if I lose my live account? The account closes with whatever balance is in it, including any cushion still held. Its locked Reserve is lost, and you wait 1 month before buying a new evaluation.
+ How often are payouts? Daily, with a $200 minimum. They cover your live profits above the cushion and your unlocked Reserve.
