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)

What are the contract limits on my live account?
Live accounts have their own contract limits, calibrated to your live drawdown rather than inherited from your sim plan. For now these are flat — no scaling, no tiers to track.
− - 25K Live: 1 mini / 10 micros
- 50K Live: 2 minis / 20 micros
− - 75K Live: 3 minis / 30 micros
- 100K Live: 3 minis / 30 micros
- 150K Live: 5 minis / 50 micros
Your live account uses a static drawdown — a fixed loss limit that stays the same throughout the life of the account. You can lose up to the drawdown amount from your starting balance before your account is breached, and that buffer never closes in as your profits grow.
Static drawdown by account size:
− - 25K: $1,000
- 50K: $2,000
− - 75K: $3,000 (Instant Classic only)
- 100K: $3,000

What "50% must be new profit" means in practice
You can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last approved payout, within the minimum and maximum for your size.
Section: What "50% must be new profit" means in practice
− Worked example on a funded Daily 50K: Your balance is $53,400, which is $1,300 above the $52,100 buffer. Your last payout was approved yesterday and you have made $700 since. Twice $700 is $1,400, but the 50K maximum is $1,000, so you request $1,000. At the 90/10 split you receive $900, less the 2% processing fee, so $882 arrives. Your balance becomes $52,400.
The practical effect is that one very good day followed by flat days will not let you keep withdrawing. Each request has to be at least half funded by profit made since the last one.
Why was my request declined?
- KYC is not complete.
Processing time and fees
Section: Processing time and fees
− Payouts are processed within 48 hours of the request. A 2% processing fee is deducted to cover payment and transaction costs, so the amount that reaches you is slightly below the figure on your payout certificate.

- Minimum payout: $500 on every account size.

Section: Payouts
− - Processing fee: 2% is deducted from every payout to cover payment and transaction costs, so the amount that arrives is slightly below the figure on your payout certificate.
Account size | Profit buffer | Minimum balance to request | Maximum per payout
25K | $1,100 | $26,100 | $650
The daily progression rule
At least 50% of every payout request must be profit generated since your last approved payout. Put another way, you can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last payout, within the minimum and maximum above. For your first payout, all profit above the buffer counts as new profit.
Section: The daily progression rule
− Example on a funded Daily 50K: Your balance is $53,400, which is $1,300 above the $52,100 buffer. Your last payout was approved yesterday and you have made $700 since. The progression rule lets you request up to $1,400, twice your new profit. The 50K maximum is $1,000, so you request $1,000 and receive $900 after the 90/10 split, less the 2% processing fee, so $882 arrives. Your balance becomes $52,400 and your drawdown limit stays locked at $50,100.
If you do not meet the progression rule, the request is declined. That is not a breach. Keep trading and request again once at least half of the amount you want is profit made since your last payout.
Two checks run on every request. The progression rule above is one. The 60 second holding rule below is the other. Both have to pass, and a request can fail either one on its own.

How do I qualify for a live account?
Section: How do I qualify for a live account?
− There is no public payout count, dollar target, or numeric milestone that "unlocks" a live account. Our risk team reviews every funded trader based on the full picture — your consistency, how you manage drawdowns, your trading conduct, and your overall risk profile — and identifies when you are ready to move to live capital.
The best path to live is to trade like you intend to keep trading: consistent, disciplined, and risk-aware. Strong trading patterns are noticed regardless of payout count.
Why no public threshold?
We want traders focused on developing genuine consistency, not chasing a specific number. A public threshold encourages optimising for the threshold rather than for trading quality, which is the actual signal we look for. Removing it keeps the program aligned around the right thing: building the kind of track record we can trust on live capital.
What does the risk team look at?
Section: What does the risk team look at?
− The full picture of your trading with us, including (but not limited to):
- Consistency of your trading and your results over time
- How you manage drawdowns and risk
− - Trading conduct (e.g. how you handle news, position sizing, behaviour around the daily reset)
- Your overall risk profile and account history
There is no single metric that triggers transition. It is a holistic call by the risk team.
Can I ask the risk team to move me to live?
Section: Can I ask the risk team to move me to live?
− You do not need to. The team has full visibility into every funded account and reaches out directly when a trader is approved for transition. Asking for review does not move you up the queue — sustained consistency does.
Does my product type affect when I move to live?
Section: Does my product type affect when I move to live?
− The transition criterion is the same on every product (EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic, Flex): risk team review of your trading history. What can differ in practice is how quickly different products build a track record — 1-Day-Pass-Plan accounts move faster per cycle, EOD and Instant Funded need more winning days per payout — but the decision itself is product-agnostic.
Do account sizes have different criteria?
Section: Do account sizes have different criteria?
− No — the criterion is the same across 25K, 50K, 100K, and 150K accounts. The size of your eventual live account scales with your sim portfolio (see What if I have multiple sim accounts? in Collection 3), but the path itself is consistent.
Will my existing payouts count?

For Flex accounts, the 50% withdrawal allowance and payout cap are measured against the total profit on the account before the applicable profit split is applied.
Section: Daily Payouts funded accounts
How do the minimum and cap work together?
- If your eligible payout is below $500, you cannot submit a payout request yet.
- If your eligible payout is between $500 and your applicable cap, you may request the eligible amount.
- If your eligible payout exceeds the cap, the maximum you may request is the applicable cap.
Section: How do the minimum and cap work together?
− You must also complete the required winning days and meet any consistency, recurring-payout, and KYC requirements that apply to your account.
− Processing Fee for Payouts
A 2% fee is applied to all payouts to cover payment processing and transaction costs. As a result, the final amount that arrives in your account may be slightly lower than the total shown on your payout certificate.

+ - At least 50% of the amount requested must be profit made since your last approved payout, so you can request up to twice your new profit.
+ - At least 50% of your net profit since your last payout must come from trades held longer than 60 seconds.
+ Profit above the maximum stays in the account and supports your equity going into the next request. Requesting a payout does not move or lock your drawdown limit. See how the 24 hour payout cycle works.

Before
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 exit within a few ticks may not reflect real market behavior. 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 accounts, 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.
