Prop firm rule changes, dated
This log records when we check sources and change the directory. A research date is not a rule's effective date. Older or different purchase cohorts may still follow different terms.
Tradeify makes the 300K permanent and lowers add-on Flex caps
Rechecked Tradeify Select. The Select 300K is no longer a limited release: Tradeify sells V2 permanently, up to 5 purchases per user per rolling 30 days, with at most 3 funded 300K accounts per user counted within the 5 funded accounts. This replaces the lifetime limit of 3 purchases. Flex accounts from evaluations bought with the 50% consistency add-on now have lower caps: $2,000 on 50K, $3,000 on 100K and $4,000 on 150K. Tradeify also added Funded Reset, which replaces a breached 50K to 150K funded account with no payout history for a fee. Other Select figures are unchanged.
Read the Tradeify payout rulesBoxcar adds a 40% evaluation default and changes Flex payouts
Rechecked Boxcar. Under its 26 October rule update, Flex and Payout evaluations default to 40% consistency with no cushion, and the 50% option keeps its 52% ceiling. Flex payouts are now up to 50% of remaining account profit, including profit carried from earlier cycles, still after five qualifying days in the current cycle. Prime, Flex and Funded accounts each allow up to five payouts before live review. Account caps, the Rithmic route, the $500 minimum, the 90% split and the copier permission are unchanged.
Read the Boxcar guideBulenox adds Tradovate and raises its professional data fee
Rechecked Bulenox. The help center now has a Tradovate connection guide that says Bulenox accounts run on Tradovate, while other help items still link every account to one Rithmic User ID, so the page lists both routes. Professional market data is $133 a month in the help center and the 23 October 2026 agreement, up from $116; the pricing page still says $116. The pricing page now shows the same Fast Track and Momentum drawdowns as the help center, and the FAQ now agrees that Fast Track is reviewed for a Funded account after three payouts. Targets, drawdowns, payout caps, consistency rules and the 90% split did not change.
Read the Bulenox rulesDayTraders.com allows copiers; BluSky renames its Rithmic system
Rechecked DayTraders.com and BluSky. DayTraders moved its help center and now states that copiers across your own accounts are allowed, but not into other people's accounts, to hedge or to exceed max contracts. It publishes its own NinjaTrader 8 copier while calling NinjaTrader not officially supported, and lists evaluations as unlimited with up to 5 EOD Pro accounts within 15 funded. Its 50K EOD figures did not change. BluSky's Rithmic guides now name a BluSky system instead of Rithmic Paper Trading; its caps, copying and payout rules did not change.
Elite Trader Funding ends its Trade How You Want promotion
Rechecked the 1-Step evaluation and Elite Sim-Funded rules. The Trade How You Want promotion ended at 12:00 AM ET on 2 November 2026, so every trade must again last at least 10 seconds, and Martingale or adding to a losing position is not allowed. ETF updated its Terms of Service on 27 October, but no target, drawdown, qualifying-day or reward figure changed, and ETF has published no new reward cohort. The page now says the weekly trade rule also covers Direct to Funded accounts.
Read the Elite Trader Funding rulesLucid drops its reset consistency wording
Rechecked LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDaily. Lucid's customization articles no longer say that a reset goes back to 40% consistency. Its plan cards default LucidDaily evaluations to 40% with a 50% add-on, while its LucidDaily rule articles still say 50%. The plan cards also list the LucidFlex daily loss limits ($600 to $2,700) and sell an end-of-day funded drawdown for LucidDaily that no help article describes yet. Targets, drawdown, payout caps, splits and account limits are unchanged.
Read the Lucid program guideMyFundedFutures widens its illiquid-market rule
Rechecked every MyFundedFutures plan. MFFU's Fair Play policy now bans profiting from isolated, stale or unrealistic fills in low-liquidity contracts, including back-month contracts, or during low-volume hours, however long the position is held. MFFU renamed its old Pro guide to Legacy Pro and says the 21-day cooldown applies only after a Live account closes on a max loss breach. Targets, drawdowns, contract limits, buffers, payout minimums and caps did not change.
Read the MyFundedFutures rulesNine more firms rechecked with no payout rule changes
Apex, Alpha Futures, E8 Futures, Earn2Trade, FundedNext Futures, Take Profit Trader, Top One, TradeDay and Topstep had no payout rule changes. Earn2Trade accounts bought from 1 November 2026 have fixed contract limits instead of the Progression Ladder; copiers stay banned. The Apex page now shows the 50K evaluation profit target and contract limit. Take Profit Trader added Routable as an international payout method. Top One's account-limit articles still disagree on whether Elite Daily accounts must be one size, and Topstep limits Focused Trader Program traders to one $50K account.
Take Profit Trader pays 50% of the PRO buffer on closing
Rechecked Take Profit Trader. Profit inside the PRO buffer is still paid only after the PRO account is closed, but Take Profit Trader now pays a flat 50% of it; the 80% rate after 60 trading days is gone. Withdrawals above the buffer stay at 80% from day one. Test, PRO and PRO+ rules, the approved copier list and account limits are unchanged, and Copilink is still not on that list.
Read the Take Profit Trader rulesBulenox moves to a 90% split and a 50% cap after payout 3
Rechecked every Bulenox program against the help center, FAQ, pricing page and the 13 October 2026 Master Account Agreement. Payouts now pay 90% from the first dollar; the 100% split on the first $10,000 is gone. From the fourth Master payout, the help center now matches the agreement: each request must stay under 50% of total profit. The help center lowers the Fast Track 50K drawdown and the Momentum drawdowns, but the pricing page still shows the old figures, so the page lists both. Momentum Master payouts must now leave a Safety Threshold Reserve.
Read the Bulenox rulesMyFundedFutures redesigns the Pro plan
Rechecked every MyFundedFutures plan. MFFU redesigned the Pro plan in October 2026: sim-funded accounts now trade 3, 6 or 9 minis instead of 5, 10 or 15, profit above the $100,000 cap is forfeited, and Live accounts start at $0 with a Reserve and an end-of-day trailing max loss. Older Pro accounts keep the old rules. Rapid, Rapid EOD and Builder did not change, and the Rapid plan page now matches the help center on contract limits.
Read the MyFundedFutures rulesLucid adds a 40% consistency default and on-demand payouts
Rechecked LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDaily. LucidFlex evaluations now need a best day of 40% or less of profit, or 50% with an add-on bought at checkout, and a reset goes back to 40%. Lucid's LucidDaily customization article offers the same choice while its LucidDaily rule articles still say 50%, so the page records 40% and flags the conflict. Accounts that chose the daily loss limit at purchase can now request funded payouts during the session.
Read the Lucid program guideTradeify 300K purchase limit and cap dates clarified
Rechecked Tradeify Select. The Select 300K limit is now three purchases per user for life, V1 and V2 together, and failed or closed accounts count. Tradeify now says the newer Flex and Daily caps cover accounts bought on or after 1 September 2026, and its pages now agree that Elite Live consideration starts at 3 payouts on one account or 10 in total. Every other Select figure is unchanged.
Read the Tradeify payout rulesTop One adds a No Daily Loss Limit add-on
Rechecked Elite Daily V2. From 16 October 2026, Top One sells a No Daily Loss Limit add-on at checkout for about 30% more; accounts bought with it have no daily loss limit, and it cannot be added later. Top One's general account-limit articles now require Elite Daily funded accounts to be the same size, while the Elite Daily article still allows mixed sizes. Payout, drawdown and copier rules did not change.
Read the Top One rulesBoxcar renames Scale to Flex and drops its evaluation cap
Rechecked Boxcar. BoxcarScale is now BoxcarFlex, with the same evaluation consistency ceiling, no funded consistency rule and payouts from cycle profit after five qualifying days and a net-positive cycle. Evaluations are now unlimited, with up to five active funded accounts across all plans, replacing the old cap of ten evaluation and sim-funded accounts. Boxcar now states that third-party copiers are allowed on evaluation and simulated-funded accounts.
Read the Boxcar guideApex rechecked; WealthCharts and Legacy offers noted
Rechecked every Apex EOD and Intraday size. Payout rules, caps and the 50% consistency rule are unchanged. The Intraday PA has a tiered daily loss limit like the EOD PA, and the page now shows it; the Intraday evaluation has none. Apex also sells WealthCharts accounts, which Copilink does not connect to, and is selling Legacy accounts again for a limited time; those keep Legacy terms.
Read the Apex payout rulesElite Trader Funding account cap settled at 20
Rechecked the 1-Step evaluation and Elite Sim-Funded rules. ETF's Elite page now also allows 20 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts, with at most 5 Direct to Funded, so the page no longer shows a second figure. No 1-Step or Sim-Funded rule changed. The page adds the Terms of Service rule that a Sim-Funded account must reach its safety net within 45 calendar days of paying the activation fee.
Read the Elite Trader Funding rulesEight more firms rechecked with no payout rule changes
Alpha Futures, BluSky, DayTraders.com, Earn2Trade, E8 Futures, FundedNext Futures, TradeDay and Topstep had no payout rule changes. Earn2Trade added BlackArrow as an evaluation route; copiers stay banned. DayTraders says it does not support trade copiers and that you use one at your own risk. BluSky's Orbit row no longer calls payouts daily, because its own pages disagree. FundedNext no longer lists Legacy for purchase. Account caps are now listed for Alpha, DayTraders and Topstep, and the Alpha website link is corrected.
Alpha, BluSky, DayTraders, Earn2Trade and Topstep rechecked
Every firm in the directory is now checked in October. Alpha Futures, DayTraders.com and Topstep had no rule changes. BluSky moved its Sim Funded rules article and now applies the $500 minimum and daily payouts to all Sim Funded accounts, so the page no longer calls them Orbit V2 only. Earn2Trade still bans copiers in every program; the guide now lists its Rithmic evaluation route next to Tradovate.
Tradeify payout rules added for every Select size
Rechecked Tradeify Select. Added Flex and Daily payout rules for every account size, with caps split by purchase before or after 1 September 2026, a worked 50K Flex first payout and the 50% consistency add-on. The page notes where Tradeify's own pages disagree, including when the Flex floor locks and the 25K evaluation contract limit.
Read the Tradeify payout rulesMyFundedFutures max payouts by plan and size
Rechecked every MyFundedFutures size for Rapid Intraday, Rapid EOD, Builder and Pro. Added the maximum payout by plan, the plan-specific funded account caps and the Rapid EOD net-profit rule between payouts. Corrected news trading: Tier 1 releases are allowed in every evaluation and on Builder, and banned only on Rapid and Pro sim-funded accounts.
Read the MyFundedFutures rulesLucid payout tables and program comparison
Rechecked LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDaily for every size. Added payout tables per program, a Flex vs Pro vs Daily comparison, the LucidDaily news hard breach and the exact LucidPro purchase cutoff. The page flags five places where Lucid's own help articles disagree.
Read the Lucid program guideBulenox rules rechecked against the Master agreement
Rechecked Qualification, Master, Fast Track and Momentum for every size against the help center and the 18 September 2026 Master Account Agreement. The Master consistency calculation resets after each approved payout; our page previously said it did not. The agreement bans VPN and VPS use, caps flip days at 20% and requires same-direction equity-index positions across accounts.
Read the Bulenox rulesTake Profit Trader rules for every account size
Added Test and PRO rules for every size from 25K to 150K, the Test monthly fees, the one-time PRO activation fee and the Test's removed daily loss limit. The page now says Copilink is not on Take Profit Trader's approved copier list, that the bot ban covers Test, PRO and PRO+, and that no scalping rule is published.
Read the Take Profit Trader rulesTradeDay, FundedNext Futures and Elite rechecked
TradeDay now covers Quick Pay and Fast Pass at every size, with Quick Pay's $10,000 Live review and the Fast Pass caps for accounts opened from 26 July. FundedNext Futures moves to the help center rebuilt on 30 September, with the corrected Rapid Daily payout condition and a 10-per-month funded account cap; FNL:003 is no longer sold. Elite Trader Funding adds 100K and 150K, the 2 October qualifying-day change and both published account caps; Copilink is not on ETF's approved copier list.
Top One and E8 payout caps by size
Top One Elite Daily V2 now covers all four sizes for evaluation and funded accounts; the payout cap applies to every request, not only the first. E8 Zero Starter and Max are compared side by side with their caps per size. E8 accounts bought from 1 October 2026, 19:00 UTC+2 get four payouts instead of five, and E8 allows three Zero Performance accounts.
Payout calculator covers 11 firms
A new calculator checks a funded account's payout request against its firm's checked terms: qualifying days, consistency, the buffer, the minimum and the cap for each payout. It covers 30 programs at 11 firms. Terms a firm does not publish, and rules the calculator cannot model, are listed as not checked rather than assumed.
Open the payout calculatorConsistency calculator presets now follow these checks
Every firm program with a consistency percentage on these pages is now a preset in the consistency calculator, with that firm's checked date and source. A preset can be linked directly, so each firm page opens the calculator with its own rule loaded.
Open the consistency calculatorBoxcar rules rechecked after launch
Boxcar opened on 28 September, ahead of its announced 1 October date. Its plan rules, account limits and own-account copier permission match our prelaunch summary. Removed the launch date and a VPS specification Boxcar no longer publishes.
Read the Boxcar guideApex and Take Profit Trader payout rules rechecked
Added Apex's current EOD and Intraday payout requirements and per-request caps for every account size, with a worked first payout. Added Take Profit Trader's PRO buffers by size, withdrawal timing, fees and the firm's Test consistency example.
Directory completed with scoped firm guides
Added Top One Elite Daily V2, BluSky, E8 Zero, DayTraders EOD and Earn2Trade guides, plus prelaunch Boxcar terms. Alpha Futures and Topstep now explain their unsupported Copilink routes. Earn2Trade explicitly prohibits copiers in every program.
Elite Trader Funding copier restriction checked
Reviewed the current 50K 1-Step and Elite Sim-Funded reward cohorts, account limits, Rithmic connection fee and third-party copier terms. The page does not suggest connecting a copier without confirming express ETF authorization.
Read the Elite Trader Funding rulesFundedNext Futures current paths separated
Reviewed 50K Rapid Pro and Rapid Daily challenge, funded reward, allocation, platform and own-account copying rules. Older Rapid and Bolt programs stopped new purchases and resets on 10 July; the guide keeps them and FNL:003 Instant outside its scope.
Read the FundedNext Futures rulesTradeDay Quick Pay stages checked
Checked 50K Quick Pay evaluation and Funded Sim rules, copying between account stages, the one-broker limit and platform routes. The guide notes TradeDay's direct Tradovate API restriction.
Read the TradeDay rulesBulenox payout paths and copier restriction checked
Compared 50K Fast Track and standard Master payout rules against Bulenox's current help center. Its FAQ and Master agreement restrict commercial automation and unapproved tools, so the Rithmic route is not presented as Copilink permission.
Read the Bulenox payout rulesMyFundedFutures programs checked
Reviewed the 50K Rapid Intraday and EOD program guides, Builder and Pro rules, account limits, copying policy and Tradovate setup. The guide calls out a conflict between broad and 50K-specific Builder daily-loss descriptions; Tradovate is the documented route for the reviewed accounts.
Read the MyFundedFutures rulesTake Profit Trader stages checked
Checked the Test cohort change, PRO and PRO+ drawdown and payout rules, account limits and the current copier policy. The guide describes the restriction on commercial copiers.
Read the Take Profit Trader rulesApex current and Legacy programs separated
Checked Apex's EOD and Intraday evaluation, PA, payout, consistency, account-count and platform pages. The new guide keeps pre-March-2026 Legacy payout terms separate from current programs.
Read the Apex rulesTradeify Select cohorts checked
Reopened Tradeify's platform, copying, Select evaluation, funded payout and 300K V1/V2 pages. The new guide separates evaluation consistency from funded payout rules and identifies the 27 August 2026 purchase-cohort boundary for 300K accounts.
Read the Tradeify rulesLucid program rules checked
Reopened Lucid's official platform, copying, account-limit, drawdown, consistency and payout pages. The new firm page separates Flex, Pro and Daily and identifies the Pro consistency cohort change. This entry records our review, not a new Lucid rule taking effect today.
Read the Lucid rulesResearch list expanded
Added source leads for 16 futures firms. The additional rows remain labelled as research leads until their current programs, account stages and purchase cohorts have been checked against official documents.
