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)

Microscalping generally refers to extremely short-duration trading behavior that depends heavily on execution speed, minimal slippage, rapid entries and exits, or unrealistic fill conditions that may exist within simulated environments. These strategies often involve repeatedly opening and closing positions within seconds while targeting extremely small price fluctuations throughout the trading session. Although these strategies may appear profitable in simulation, they are often unsustainable in live markets where liquidity conditions, slippage, latency, and execution delays behave differently. - To maintain fair and sustainable trading conditions, AquaFutures requires that at least 50% of all closed trades remain open for longer than 1 minute. In addition, at least 50% of total generated profits must come from trades held longer than 1 minute. Traders are also expected to maintain an average risk-to-reward ratio above 0.3RR across their overall trading activity. + To maintain fair and sustainable trading conditions, AquaFutures requires that at least 50% of all closed trades remain open for longer than 10 seconds. In addition, at least 50% of total generated profits must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. Traders are also expected to maintain an average risk-to-reward ratio above 0.3RR across their overall trading activity. The purpose of these requirements is not to prevent legitimate scalping, but rather to discourage execution-dependent strategies designed to exploit characteristics unique to simulated environments. Examples of acceptable scalping may include holding trades for several minutes while targeting structured market movements, trading around technical levels with defined stop losses and realistic profit targets, or executing lower timeframe setups while still allowing trades reasonable time to develop naturally.

Traders are also expected to maintain an average risk-to-reward ratio above 0.3RR across their overall trading activity.
The purpose of these requirements is not to prevent legitimate scalping, but rather to discourage execution-dependent strategies designed to exploit characteristics unique to simulated environments.
Examples of acceptable scalping may include holding trades for several minutes while targeting structured market movements, trading around technical levels with defined stop losses and realistic profit targets, or executing lower timeframe setups while still allowing trades reasonable time to develop naturally.
Microscalping generally refers to extremely short-duration trading behavior that depends heavily on execution speed, minimal slippage, rapid entries and exits, or unrealistic fill conditions that may exist within simulated environments. These strategies often involve repeatedly opening and closing positions within seconds while targeting extremely small price fluctuations throughout the trading session.
Although these strategies may appear profitable in simulation, they are often unsustainable in live markets where liquidity conditions, slippage, latency, and execution delays behave differently.
To maintain fair and sustainable trading conditions, AquaFutures requires that at least 50% of all closed trades remain open for longer than 10 seconds. In addition, at least 50% of total generated profits must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. Traders are also expected to maintain an average risk-to-reward ratio above 0.3RR across their overall trading activity.

Questions
What is Rule Radar?
Rule Radar is our daily record of rule and policy changes across 32 futures prop firms. When a firm edits a rule, adds a page, or deletes one, the change shows up here with the exact lines that changed.
How often does it update?
Daily. New changes land by early morning US time, so check it like a morning paper.
Where does the data come from?
Straight from each firm’s own published pages. We keep every version and compare them line by line, so nothing here is secondhand.
What does a starred change mean?
A starred change is one we think actually matters, like payout terms, rule tightening, or pricing. Most edits are typos and clarifications, and those stay in the full feed above.
