Did Your Prop Firm Change Its Rules? How to Check Before You Buy (Live Examples)

Quick answer: open the prop firm rule changes tracker, pick today or the last 7 days, filter by market and rule, and open the official source linked on each change. On Thursday 5 November 2026 it listed 4 changes at 2 firms, all worse for traders, and 47 price and rule changes in total. Every firm is checked daily against its own official website, and a change is listed only after it is confirmed there.

Why check for rule changes before you buy a challenge?

A challenge price, profit split or loss limit can change between the day you compare firms and the day you pay. Most traders find out afterwards. The tracker puts the old value, the new value, the account size and the official source on one line, so you can see what changed and read the firm's own wording.

Live examples from 5 November 2026

On 5 November the tracker showed these changes, both marked worse for traders:

The $200K Hypernova price went up by $100, about 5.4%, while the $100K price moved by $1. A price table only shows today's number. The tracker shows the move, so you can tell a one-dollar change from a real jump. The Funded Trading Plus change is a drop in the profit split from 90% to 80% on every size, which lowers what you keep from every payout.

How to use the tracker, step by step

1. Open the rule changes tracker. The top line shows how many changes are listed and when the last one happened.
2. Read "The day in short" for a one-line summary of each firm's changes.
3. Tap "Worse for traders" to see price rises and stricter rules first, or "Better for traders" for cheaper prices and looser rules.
4. Pick a day on the calendar, "Last 7 days" or "This month".
5. Filter by market (CFD, futures or crypto) and by rule: price, profit split, drawdown, profit target or trading rules.
6. Click "Source" on a change to open the firm's own page and read its wording.

Which rules does the tracker follow?

Challenge prices, profit targets, daily and maximum drawdown (in percent or in dollars per account size), drawdown type, profit split, payout cycle, minimum trading days, consistency rules, and whether EAs, copy trading, news trading and weekend or overnight holding are allowed. It covers forex (CFD), futures and crypto prop firms.

Do new rules apply to accounts I already bought?

It depends on the firm. Many apply new rules only to accounts bought after the change, but not all do. Open the official source linked on each change and read the firm's own wording before you decide.
