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)

Section: What is the daily progression rule on Daily Payouts?
On Daily Payouts, at least 50% of every payout request must be profit generated since your last approved payout.
Turn that around and it is easier to use: you can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last payout. The minimum of $500 and the maximum for your account size still apply on top.
- The 60 second rule is about how the profit was made. At least half of your net profit since the last payout has to come from trades held longer than 60 seconds. Failing this one also deducts the profit from trades held 60 seconds or less.
A request has to satisfy both.

How many live accounts can I have at once?
One. Your live account is a single consolidated account, built from the sum of your eligible sim account sizes at transition and capped at 150K. After a breach and re-qualification through a new challenge, you earn your next live account through the standard route — see Collection 6.
Will I be charged anything to transition?
No — GFF fully sponsors your account and your transition, so moving onto live costs you nothing. It is our investment in you.

Section: Breach & Cooldown: What happens if a live account breaches?
What counts as a breach on my live account?
A live account is breached if your cumulative losses reach the full drawdown amount from your starting balance. For example, on a 50K live account with a $2,000 static drawdown and a $0 starting balance, the breach floor sits at -$2,000. A breached account closes and does not reopen, but there is a clear route back (below).
How many times can I come back?
There is no fixed limit. After each cooldown you can take a new challenge, and the risk team sets your route back. As with any partnership, GFF retains the usual discretion set out in the Trader Agreement.

Section: Payouts on Live: How do live account payouts work?
When can I request my first live payout?
Right away. As soon as you are $500 in profit above your starting balance (i.e. a $500 live balance), you can request your first payout — with no winning-day requirement to wait through. There is no holding period: earn it, request it.
What happens if I don't withdraw?
It is entirely your call. Profit above your starting balance stays in your account until you decide to take it — there is no deadline, so you are free to let it build.

Section: Live Account Specifications: What are the live account specifications?
What's the starting balance of my live account?
Your live account starts at a $0 balance, with the trading capital fully provided by GFF. The size of your live account is based on your eligible sim accounts at transition — summed together, capped at 150K, GFF's largest live tier. Everything you earn above $0 is yours to withdraw, subject only to the minimum payout amount.
Are the trading rules the same as sim?
Largely, yes — which keeps things familiar. The news-trading buffer (two minutes around high-impact events) and the no overnight/weekend holding rule carry over from sim.

Section: Transition: What happens when I transition from sim to live?
What happens to my sim account when I transition?
When you move to live, your sim account closes and your live account opens with a clean slate. Any profit you have not yet withdrawn from the sim account at that moment does not carry across and is not paid out separately — but because GFF's structure rewards withdrawing as you earn, this is typically just the small buffer since your last payout. Live then more than makes up for it: no per-payout caps, daily withdrawals, and 90% of everything you make from the first dollar.
Will I trade on the same platform?
In most cases, yes. If your data provider (CQG, dxFeed, Tickblaze) supports live when you qualify, you will carry on with the same platform you already know. If it does not support live just yet, you can either switch to another provider and its connected platforms or wait until we add yours.

Section: What is the Path to Live?
The Path to Live is how GFF rewards its most consistent traders with the next step in their journey: a live brokerage account, trading real capital that we provide. Once you qualify, your simulated funded account becomes a live account, you trade with real GFF capital, and you keep 90% of every withdrawal — with the freedom to request payouts daily and no per-payout caps. It is the opportunity to turn proven sim performance into a long-term partnership trading live.
Who is the Path to Live for?
If the risk team approves you for transition before the live environment opens, your sim accounts are held while your live account is prepared, so your transition is ready to go the moment we launch. During this short window, trading activity with GFF is paused across your accounts while we finalise your live setup.
As soon as the live environment is live, you will be transitioned and trading real GFF capital — with daily uncapped payouts and a 90% profit share waiting on the other side. You have earned your place; this simply makes sure you start where the real opportunity is.

Before
Section: Tick Scalping & Unrealistic Trading Practices
Tick scalping refers to extremely short-term trading where positions are opened and closed within seconds to capture very small price movements, often using high position sizes.
Trading strategies that generate profits through unrealistic execution conditions such as rapid entries and exits within a few ticks may not reflect real market behaviour. In live trading environments, such activity is often affected by slippage, liquidity limitations, and partial fills, making these results difficult to replicate consistently.
This rule applies across all account types, including Flex and Daily Payouts, to ensure consistency and alignment with realistic market conditions. If such activity is identified, any profits generated from it may be reviewed and deducted.
Traders are encouraged to follow strategies that are sustainable and reflect genuine live-market execution.

Key benefits
- $0 activation fee, so your funded account is activated at no extra cost
Pricing & Targets
Two resets are available per challenge. You can hold up to 5 funded accounts.
How to pass
Place at least one trade every 7 days. If no trades are placed for 7 consecutive days the account is breached and closed, and the fee is not refunded. There is no time limit on passing the evaluation, but the account does need to stay active. If you are going to be away, tell support in advance.
Please monitor our website and Discord for announcements about trading parameters, updates, or system changes.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · Why do you have a minimum holding time rule? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesArticle added explaining minimum holding time rule with plan-specific times: EOD/1-Day-Pass-Plan/Instant Classic 2 minutes, Flex 1 minute, Daily Payouts 60 seconds.Oct 7
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
Section: Why do you have a minimum holding time rule?
The minimum hold time is in place at GFF to ensure our evaluation reflects realistic trading conditions. During high-volatility periods, ultra-short trades on larger contract sizes can capture moves that wouldn't realistically be executable in a live funded environment due to slippage, partial fills, and liquidity constraints. The rule keeps the challenge aligned with what you'd actually experience when trading real capital.
The length differs by plan. EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant Classic use a 2 minute microscalping deduction. Flex uses a 1 minute rule checked at payout. Daily Payouts uses a 60 second rule checked at payout.
See holding time rules on each plan for how each one works.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · What strategies are prohibited? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesArticle added navigation structure, updated date to 18 August 2026, removed rule numbering, and added related articles section with five links.Oct 7
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
Section: What strategies are prohibited?
Every rule below comes down to one question: could this strategy realistically be executed on a live exchange? We assess every account on whether it reflects genuine market trading rather than exploiting our simulated environment. Any strategy that only works because the environment is simulated is not permitted, whether listed below or not. Breaching a rule may result in a warning, profit adjustment, account review, or termination.
Section: Coordinated & linked trading
− 1. Coordinated & linked trading
Your trading must be your own and your accounts must operate independently. You may copy your own trades across your own accounts, but copying other users' trades or signals — manually, via copy services, or EAs — is prohibited, as is coordinating trades with other clients, holding opposing or hedged positions across accounts, group trading, trade signaling, or sharing devices, VPS instances, or IPs to enable linked trading. Where linked activity is detected, all accounts and users involved may be suspended.
Section: Risk discipline & position sizing
− 2. Risk discipline & position sizing
Trade like a professional managing real capital. Disproportionate all-in bets on a single position, account rolling, and erratic sizing swings (one micro on one trade, five minis on the next) may be treated as gambling rather than disciplined trading. Keep your sizing consistent with your strategy and balance.
Section: Exploiting the simulated environment
− 3. Exploiting the simulated environment
No market manipulation, spoofing, or deceptive conduct designed to distort prices or create false trading conditions. No arbitrage of any kind — latency, hedge, reverse, or rollover. No gap trading around market closures and re-openings, and no profiting from mispriced quotes, feed latency, or external price sources used for an edge.
Section: Scalping & high-frequency abuse
− 4. Scalping & high-frequency abuse
On EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant accounts, profits from trades closed within 2 minutes are deducted (not a breach). On Flex accounts created after July 21st, at least 50% of your closed trades and 50% of your net profits in each payout cycle must come from trades held longer than 1 minute — otherwise the payout is declined and sub-1-minute profits are deducted. HFT systems, tick scalping, bulk order-entry, and volume inflation are prohibited, and 100+ trades in a single day may trigger a risk review.
Section: Payout & requirement gaming
− 5. Payout & requirement gaming
Payouts reward sustainable trading. Earning the bulk of your profit in a single day and then trading the bare minimum to hit the required trading days, or placing token trades to fake activity, may result in the payout being withheld, the concentrated day's profit voided, or the account closed.

No market manipulation, spoofing, or deceptive conduct designed to distort prices or create false trading conditions. No arbitrage of any kind — latency, hedge, reverse, or rollover. No gap trading around market closures and re-openings, and no profiting from mispriced quotes, feed latency, or external price sources used for an edge.
Section: Scalping & high-frequency abuse
+ Scalping & high-frequency abuse
On EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant accounts, profits from trades closed within 2 minutes are deducted (not a breach). On Flex accounts created after July 21st, at least 50% of your closed trades and 50% of your net profits in each payout cycle must come from trades held longer than 1 minute — otherwise the payout is declined and sub-1-minute profits are deducted. HFT systems, tick scalping, bulk order-entry, and volume inflation are prohibited, and 100+ trades in a single day may trigger a risk review.
Section: Payout & requirement gaming
+ Payout & requirement gaming
Payouts reward sustainable trading. Earning the bulk of your profit in a single day and then trading the bare minimum to hit the required trading days, or placing token trades to fake activity, may result in the payout being withheld, the concentrated day's profit voided, or the account closed.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · Can I use a VPS? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesArticle structure updated to add navigation breadcrumb, section heading, related articles links, and back-to-top link; substance of VPS prohibition policy unchanged.Oct 7

What the page said before and after
Before
Section: Can I use a VPS?
No. The use of Virtual Private Servers (VPS), cloud-hosted machines, or any form of remote server to access or trade your GFF account is strictly prohibited — on both evaluation and funded accounts, with no exceptions.
What exactly counts as a VPS or remote server?
- Automation abuse. VPS environments are commonly used to run unattended automated systems 24/7, which conflicts with our requirement that you personally place and manage your trades.
- Identity and location masking. Datacenter IPs obscure who is actually trading and from where, which prevents us from meeting our compliance obligations, including restricted-country checks.

Before contacting support, please check the following:
- Log into your dashboard and compare your account equity against the drawdown limit. If your equity is at or below the drawdown level, the breach is correct.
- Check whether your account has been inactive for more than 7 consecutive days, as this will also trigger a breach.

A reset is always cheaper than purchasing a new account. It restarts your account with a fresh balance, profit target, and trading day counter. Same account, fresh start.
Each account can only be reset twice. If you fail after two resets, you would need to purchase a new account.
Daily Payouts reset prices are $79 on the 25K, $109 on the 50K, $179 on the 100K and $259 on the 150K. For reset pricing on the other plans, visit goatfundedfutures.com.

What the page said before and after
Before
Section: Are the plans a subscription model or a one-time fee?
All plans are a one-time fee only.
Unlike many other futures prop firms, we do not charge monthly subscriptions. You pay once and have unlimited time to pass your challenge, as long as you place at least one trade every 7 days.
This includes Daily Payouts. Competing daily payout products are often billed monthly, so the longer they take to pass, the more they pay. Ours is a single payment and we never bill you again.
If you don't pass, you can reset up to twice at a discounted price, still with no subscription.
