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.

Before
- You reach a total profit of $3,000
- Your single best day was $1,500.
- Calculation: ($1,500 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 50%
- Result: You FAIL (50% is greater than 20%).
"I failed... how do I fix my score?"
If your score is too high, you must "fix" your score by accumulating more profits. You need to make that best day equal 20% of a new, larger total profit.
- Using Example 2:
- Your best day is $1,500.
- To find the profit target you need: $1,500 ÷ 0.20 = $7,500
- You must grow your total profit to $7,500 (without having another day better than $1,500) to meet the 20% rule.
3. Maximum Payout Amount
To ensure consistent growth and risk management, there is a maximum amount you can withdraw per payout request. This limit is based on your account size.

− - $150,000 Account: Max $3,500 per withdrawal
If your profit exceeds this amount, you can simply request the maximum, and the remaining profit will stay in your account to be withdrawn in a future payout request or as buffer.

Before
− Overview of the Instant Sim Funded Program at Top One Futures
Top One Futures’ Instant Sim Funded Program is designed for traders who want to skip the evaluation phase and start trading immediately with a funded simulation account. This program offers fast access to capital, along with structured risk management rules to promote long-term consistency and success. Here’s a complete breakdown of how it works:
1. No Evaluation, Instant Access
The Instant Sim Funded Program gives traders immediate access to a sim-funded account—no need to pass a challenge first. You choose your account size and can begin trading right away under real market conditions with built-in risk parameters.
2. Drawdown Rules:
Max Trailing Drawdown
- It trails your highest closed balance but never moves down.
- If your balance falls below the trailing drawdown level, the account is breached and closed.
Section: Max Trailing Drawdown
− Starting Max Drawdown by Account Size:
- $25,000 → $1,000
- $50,000 → $2,000
- $100,000 → $3,000
- $150,000 → $4,500
3. Drawdown Lock
Once your profits reach the drawdown amount plus $100, your trailing drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance and no longer follows account growth. This provides more stability and reduces the risk of losing access to the account as you scale.
Examples:
- $50K account → Lock occurs at $52,100; drawdown locks at $50,100.
Section: 3. Drawdown Lock
− - $100K account → Lock occurs at $103,100; drawdown locks at $100,100.
− This lock also activates after your first payout, even if you haven’t reached the profit + $100 threshold yet.
− 4. Consistency Rule: To be eligible for a payout, your consistency score must be 20% or lower
To qualify for payouts, your trading must reflect steady, disciplined performance. No single day’s profit may exceed 20% of your total profits.
After a payout is taken from an Instant Sim Funded account, the consistency score is reset, and the consistency rule is then applied to new profits moving forward. This ensures that traders demonstrate steady performance rather than relying on one or two highly volatile trading sessions.
All the information regarding the consistency rule on Instant Sim Funded Accounts can be found here.
Example: If your total profit is $10,000, no single trading day should exceed $2,000 in profit.
This rule encourages balanced trading instead of relying on a single high-risk session.
Please Note: For the purposes of consistency rule calculation, a trading day ends at 5:00pm EST.
Section: 6. No Contract Scaling Requirements
− 5. No Contract Scaling Requirements
There are no scaling rules in the Instant Sim Funded Program. You are allowed to use the full contract limit for your account size from day one. Choose an account size that fits your trading style and strategy.
Section: 7. Maximum Payout Caps on Instant Sim Funded Accounts
− 6. Maximum Payout Caps on Instant Sim Funded Accounts
The maximum amount you can withdraw in a single payout is based on your account size:
- $25,000 Account – Max $1,500 per withdrawal
- $50,000 Account – Max $2,500 per withdrawal
- $100,000 Account – Max $3,000 per withdrawal

Once your profits reach the drawdown amount plus $100, your trailing drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance and no longer follows account growth. This provides more stability and reduces the risk of losing access to the account as you scale.
Examples:
- $50K account → Lock occurs at $52,100; drawdown locks at $50,100.
Section: 3. Drawdown Lock
− - $100K account → Lock occurs at $103,100; drawdown locks at $100,100.
− This lock also activates after your first payout, even if you haven’t reached the profit + $100 threshold yet.
− 4. Consistency Rule: To be eligible for a payout, your consistency score must be 20% or lower
+ - $100K account → Lock occurs at $104,100; drawdown locks at $100,100.
+ This lock also activates after your first payout.
+ 4. Daily Loss Limit (DLL)
+ The Daily Loss Limit is set between 2.0% – 2.5% of your initial account balance for legacy accounts. This drawdown parameter helps manage risk and promotes responsible trading habits. Exceeding this limit will result in an account breach.
+ Here is the Daily Loss Limit breakdown by account size:
+ Instant Sim Funded Daily Loss Limit (purchased before 7/27/2026):
+ Account Size | Daily Loss Limit (DLL)
+ $25,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $625
+ $50,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $1,250
+ $100,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $2,500
+ $150,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $3,750
+ Instant Sim Funded 2.0 Daily Loss Limit (purchased on and after 7/27/2026):
+ Account Size | Daily Loss Limit (DLL)
+ $25,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $625
+ $50,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $1,250
+ $100,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $2,500
+ $150,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $3,000
+ 5. Consistency Rule: To be eligible for a payout, your consistency score must be 20% or lower
To qualify for payouts, your trading must reflect steady, disciplined performance. No single day’s profit may exceed 20% of your total profits.
After a payout is taken from an Instant Sim Funded account, the consistency score is reset, and the consistency rule is then applied to new profits moving forward. This ensures that traders demonstrate steady performance rather than relying on one or two highly volatile trading sessions.
All the information regarding the consistency rule on Instant Sim Funded Accounts can be found here.
Example: If your total profit is $10,000, no single trading day should exceed $2,000 in profit.
This rule encourages balanced trading instead of relying on a single high-risk session.
Please Note: For the purposes of consistency rule calculation, a trading day ends at 5:00pm EST.

1-Step Elite Challenge
The 1-Step Elite Challenge is designed as a traditional evaluation pathway for disciplined traders. Under this model, you must successfully reach a specific profit target while adhering to risk management rules to prove your trading skills.
Once the profit target is reached and the Elite Challenge is passed, an activation fee is required to transition from the challenge phase to a funded environment where you then can work towards a payout.
This path is ideal for traders who are confident in their ability to pass evaluations and want to benefit from a 25% consistency rule, which is more generous than the rules found in the Instant or Ignite account models.
