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)

Important for Funded Accounts
The drawdown continues to trail normally as your account reaches new equity highs until it reaches your account's initial starting balance. Once it reaches the starting balance, it locks permanently and will not trail any higher.
Section: Important for Funded Accounts
Requesting or receiving a payout does not automatically move or lock your drawdown at the starting balance. Your drawdown remains wherever it was before the payout.
Example
On a $50,000 funded account:
− • Current account balance: $51,000
− • Current drawdown floor: $49,000
If you request a $1,000 payout, your account balance becomes $50,000, but your drawdown floor remains at $49,000 because it had not yet reached the starting balance before the payout.
This means you now have $1,000 of remaining drawdown room.
Only after the drawdown naturally reaches your account's initial starting balance does it lock permanently.
− Once the drawdown has locked at the starting balance, it will remain there even after future payouts. If your balance later falls below the starting balance, the account will be breached.
Does requesting a payout lock my drawdown at the starting balance?
Section: Does requesting a payout lock my drawdown at the starting balance?
− No.
− Requesting or receiving a payout does not change the position of your drawdown floor.
− The drawdown continues to trail according to your account rules until it naturally reaches your account's initial starting balance. Only then does it lock permanently.
− If the drawdown has not yet reached the starting balance before the payout, it will remain at its current level after the payout.

Before
The key difference is when the drawdown floor updates.
Section: EOD trailing drawdown
− EOD Trailing Drawdown (used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex accounts):
The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance. Intraday equity swings do not affect your drawdown level.
For example, if your account peaks at $52,000 during the session but closes at $50,500, the drawdown floor adjusts based on $50,500 only.
Section: Intraday trailing drawdown
− Intraday Trailing Drawdown (used on Instant Classic accounts):
− The drawdown floor updates in real time as your equity reaches new highs — including unrealized profits on open positions. If your equity hits $52,000 even momentarily, the drawdown floor adjusts immediately and never moves back down.

Section: 1. Trailing EOD (end of day)
− A trailing drawdown is a loss level that moves upward as your account reaches new highs, but never moves back down. Think of it as a rising floor beneath your account — it follows your profits up but stays put when you give back. If your account equity falls to or below this level, the account is breached.
− Once the drawdown floor reaches your account's initial starting balance, it locks there permanently and stops trailing. This applies to all account types — both challenges and funded accounts.
− There are two types of trailing drawdown at GOAT Funded Futures:
− 1. Trailing EOD (End of Day) — used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex accounts: The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
− - You start at $50,000 — your floor is $48,000.
− - You close the day at $51,500 — your floor moves up to $49,500.
− - During the next day your equity dips to $49,200 intraday but you close at $50,800 — no breach, because the floor is based on your end-of-day balance, not intraday equity.
− - Over time, your closing balances push the floor up to $50,000 (your initial starting balance). The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
− 2. Trailing Intraday — used on Instant Classic accounts: The drawdown floor updates in real time, tracking your highest equity point during the session — including unrealized profits on open positions.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
− - You start at $50,000 — your floor is $48,000.
− - Your equity reaches $51,500 during a trade — your floor moves up to $49,500 immediately.
− - If your equity drops to $49,500 at any point — even before closing the trade — the account is breached.
− - Your equity continues climbing to $52,000 — the floor moves to $50,000 (your initial starting balance). The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
− Important note for Funded Accounts: Once the drawdown floor locks at the starting balance, your account has no cushion below that level. For example, if you've grown your 50K account to $54,000 and withdraw $4,000 in profits, your balance returns to $50,000 — which is exactly where the floor is locked. At that point, any drop in equity at all will breach the account. Always keep a buffer in your account when making withdrawals.

Before
− The 1-Day-Pass-Plan Challenge is a one-phase evaluation built for faster payouts. It uses end of day trailing drawdown, pays 90/10 from dollar one, and has no consistency rule during the evaluation.
Key benefits
- No time limit to pass the evaluation
- No consistency rule during the evaluation, so you can trade with full flexibility
Section: Key benefits
− - 90/10 profit split from dollar one, with nothing to add on
- Payouts every 5 winning days
- Drawdown lock, so the trailing drawdown stops moving once your balance reaches your starting balance
- Eligibility: every 5 winning days. A winning day is a net profit of at least 0.2% of your starting balance, so $100 on a 50K.
- Request window: payout requests are submitted through your dashboard between the 5th and 8th, or the 20th and 23rd, of each month.
Section: Payouts
− - Profit split: 90/10 from dollar one. There is nothing to buy and no add-on.
- Minimum request: $500, across all account sizes.
- Maximum request: 50% of your available profit, capped by account size and payout number. The cap rises as you build a track record.
- The consistency rule starts applying. There is none during the evaluation. On a funded account, no single day may be more than 35% of your total profit for the payout period.
Everything else carries over unchanged: the end of day trailing drawdown and its lock, your maximum drawdown amount, the daily loss limit and its percentages, contract limits, news trading rules, overnight and weekend holding, and the microscalping rule.
Section: What changes when you move from evaluation to funded
− Payout rules apply from this point too, since there are no payouts during an evaluation: 90/10 from dollar one, payouts every 5 winning days, and 50% of your available profit per request with the rest staying in the account.
Why does 1-Day-Pass-Plan cost more than EOD?
A 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K is $109 against $69 for an EOD 50K. What the extra buys:
- No consistency rule during the evaluation. EOD applies a 50% rule throughout.
- Faster payouts. 5 winning days instead of 7.
− - 90/10 from dollar one. EOD is 80/20 by default and charges extra for the 90/10 add-on.
- A more forgiving funded consistency rule. 35% on 1-Day-Pass-Plan against 30% on EOD, so a bigger single day is allowed.
- A 25K entry size, which EOD does not offer.

+ If you bought the 90/10 Profit Share Add-On with your challenge, it carries over automatically. There is nothing to re-purchase. Since there are no payouts during an evaluation, the add-on only affects what you take home once you are funded.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · Eligibility: How do I qualify for a live account? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesThe list of account sizes with uniform transition criteria was changed from five sizes to four, removing the 75K option.Aug 27
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
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, 75K, 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?
Yes — your entire trading history with us is what the risk team reviews. Every approved payout, your consistency, how you have handled drawdowns, your overall risk profile. If you have already built a strong track record, the risk team has visibility into that and factors it into their review.
