Prop firm rule changes, dated and sourced
Prop firms change their rules: drawdown methods, payout schedules, consistency rules, prices, platforms and restricted countries. This page lists the prop firm rule changes and updates the firms have announced on their own pages, newest first, each with the date, a short summary and a link to the official source.
Changes come only from the firms' own websites, help centres, terms and announcements, never from review sites, videos, Reddit or other comparison sites. Each change is confirmed on the firm's own page before it is added, and where a firm gives no date, the entry says when the change was first seen there.
Many changes apply only to accounts bought or reset after a stated date, so read the detail before assuming your account is affected. Each firm's own page on Prop Firm Mirror shows its changes next to its current rules.

Questions
What counts as a prop firm rule change?
Any change the firm itself announces or publishes to its rules, prices, programs, platforms or restricted countries, for example a new drawdown method, a different payout schedule or a new consistency rule. Each entry shows the date the firm gave, a short summary and a link to the official page, so you can read the full wording yourself.
Do prop firm rule changes apply to accounts I already have?
It depends on the announcement. Many changes apply only to accounts bought or reset after a stated date, while others apply to every account from a given day. Read the detail with each change and the firm's own announcement linked beside it, and ask the firm's support if your account's terms are unclear.
Where do these rule changes come from?
Only from the firm's own website, help centre, terms or official announcements. Review sites, other comparison sites, YouTube, Reddit and Discord screenshots are never used as a source. If a firm gives no date for a change, the entry says when it was first seen on the firm's pages.
How often does Prop Firm Mirror check for rule changes?
Every day. Firms are re-checked on a rolling schedule, so each firm's official pages are read again every three days, and a change is added only after it is confirmed on the firm's own page. Every rule on the site shows the date it was last checked.
How can I follow prop firm rule changes?
Check this page, which is rebuilt as firms are re-checked, or open a firm's page to see its changes next to its current rules. Prop Firm Mirror also posts rule updates on X at @PropFirmMirror.
