Rule Patch Notes tracks official-source rule changes and clarifications. Use it to spot account paths, payout gates, daily-loss rules, and consistency quirks that can trip up a prop-firm account before you trade or buy.
Rows to inspect first
These are not recommendations. They are rows where the checked source shows a payout cap change, a permanent account-path choice, a hard rule line, a legacy/current split, or a payout-eligibility blocker.
MyFundedFutures
MFFU Flex 50K users should not rely on old $5,000 payout-cap expectations; current source says $2,000 per cycle.
Tradeify
Tradeify Select traders need to choose the payout track like a rule setting, not an afterthought, because the account path becomes permanent.
Topstep
If a Topstep trader cares about XFA payout-cap size, the DLL checkout choice can affect the cap path and should be checked before purchase/activation.
FundedNext
FundedNext rule comparisons should distinguish legacy model access from currently available account types.
The5ers
For The5ers High Stakes, daily loss is a hard account-risk rule, not a soft pause.
E8 Markets
E8 payout readiness can be blocked by profit concentration even when the account is profitable.
Source-check timeline
This timeline uses the source or effective dates captured in the official pages. Rows without an explicit effective date sit under the July 2026 source-check pass.
Patch board
Grouped by source month. Every row links to the official page used for the check.
Jul 2026
Topstep: DLL choice can raise XFA payout caps
Now: Adding a Daily Loss Limit can unlock higher per-request payout caps: $4,000 / $6,000 / $10,000 standard and $6,000 / $8,000 / $12,000 consistency.
Why traders care: If a Topstep trader cares about XFA payout-cap size, the DLL checkout choice can affect the cap path and should be checked before purchase/activation.
Evidence: Topstep payout policy says traders who voluntarily add a DLL unlock double per-request payout caps; the DLL article says the limited-time offer increases the payout cap after passing and activating an XFA.
Topstep: DLL checkout choice can also change discounts
Now: Responsible Trading Discount when adding DLL: $10 off 50K, $20 off 100K, $30 off 150K No Activation Fee Trading Combines, and $50 off Back2Funded reactivation fees.
Why traders care: The DLL add-on is not only a risk setting; it can change checkout/reactivation pricing during the current offer window.
Evidence: Official DLL article says there is now a Responsible Trading Discount and lists discount amounts by account size and Back2Funded reactivation.
Topstep: one big Combine day can slow pass timing
Why traders care: Topstep Combine users should treat one large day as a pass-timing risk, not just a profit win.
Evidence: Trading Combine parameters article states the consistency target and FAQ says big spike days should stay below 50% of profit target.
Tradeify: Select payout track is a permanent account choice
Why traders care: Tradeify Select traders need to choose the payout track like a rule setting, not an afterthought, because the account path becomes permanent.
Evidence: Official article says the payout-policy choice is permanent for that account and compares 5-Day/Flex with Daily, including no DLL vs daily eligibility and 50% rule.
E8 Markets: 35% Best Day Rule can block payout readiness
Why traders care: E8 payout readiness can be blocked by profit concentration even when the account is profitable.
Evidence: Official E8 article says the best day must be no more than 35% of total profit and gives payout-readiness math.
MyFundedFutures: Flex 50K payout cap now shows $2,000 per cycle
Now: Flex 50K payout cap per cycle is $2,000; lower-tier Sim-stage contract limits were reduced; optional $1,000 DLL add-on is available at checkout.
Why traders care: MFFU Flex 50K users should not rely on old $5,000 payout-cap expectations; current source says $2,000 per cycle.
Evidence: Official Flex 50K article has a What changed from the previous Flex Plan FAQ with old/new cap and optional DLL details.
Needs model-specific check
FundingPips: Zero needs its own no-evaluation rule profile
Why traders care: FundingPips Zero should be patched as a separate rule profile, not blended with evaluation-model rules.
Evidence: Official FundingPips Zero page describes no evaluation, reward cycle, daily loss, trailing loss, risk, consistency, and minimum profitable-day requirements.
Jun 2026
TradeDay: consistency changes the target, not a funded-trader rule
Why traders care: TradeDay consistency is an evaluation-pass math issue; it is not listed as a funded-trader rule in the checked source.
Evidence: Official TradeDay support article lists QuickPay/FastPass percentages, funded-trader exception, calculation method, and non-failure outcome.
May 2026
Needs model-specific check
Goat Funded Trader: model-specific consistency blocks payout eligibility
Why traders care: Goat rows need model-specific percentage lookup; the generic article supports payout-block behavior but not one universal percentage.
Evidence: Official Goat article explains model-specific consistency, payout eligibility effect, 15% example, and partial-trade counting.
Feb 2026
MyFundedFutures: evaluations now point to one 50% consistency setup
Now: MFFU says it adopted one simple evaluation approach: 50% consistency for Rapid, Flex, and Pro evaluations; Pro one-day pass has no consistency rule.
Why traders care: For current MFFU evaluations, start with the 50% consistency rule unless the source says the specific one-day pass exception applies.
Evidence: Official article dated February 26, 2026 says MFFU adopted a streamlined evaluation approach and states the 50% rule scope.
Nov 2025
FXIFY Futures: daily drawdown is a soft daily stop in the checked source
Why traders care: FXIFY Futures daily drawdown is account-type specific and should be labeled as a soft daily trading stop in the checked source.
Evidence: Official FXIFY Futures article lists account-type percentages and says reaching the limit closes trading for the rest of the day, not a hard breach.
Sep 2025
Tradeify: Lightning payout version depends on purchase date
Now: Lightning funded accounts purchased after the cutoff use a separate payout profit-goal table, 90% requested-payout split, payout caps, and a max of 5 total simulated funded accounts across Growth, Select, and Lightning.
Why traders care: Lightning traders need the purchase-date version before comparing payout goals or caps.
Evidence: Official Lightning payout article separates accounts purchased after and before September 12, 2025 and warns profit goal is not withdrawable amount; payouts are also capped.
Tradeify: Lightning consistency changed after Sep 12, 2025
Now: Lightning funded accounts purchased after cutoff use gradual consistency: first payout 20%, second payout 25%, third and later payouts 30%; Growth Sim Funded is 35%, Select Evaluation is 40%, Select funded has no consistency rule.
Why traders care: Tradeify consistency pressure depends on account type and purchase date; do not use one percentage for every Tradeify account.
Evidence: Official consistency article lists Growth, Select, and Lightning rules and separates Lightning pre/post September 12, 2025 accounts.
Mar 2025
FundedNext: daily-loss checks need legacy vs current model split
Now: FundedNext no longer offers Express and Evaluation models to new clients; existing users keep access. Current daily-loss models listed: 5% Evaluation/Express/Stellar 2-Step, 3% Stellar 1-Step, 4% Stellar Lite.
Why traders care: FundedNext rule comparisons should distinguish legacy model access from currently available account types.
Evidence: Official maximum daily loss article states the March 18, 2025 cutoff and separates daily-loss percentages by model.
Feb 2025
The5ers: High Stakes daily loss is a hard account-risk line
Why traders care: For The5ers High Stakes, daily loss is a hard account-risk rule, not a soft pause.
Evidence: Official The5ers help article states max loss, daily loss baseline, server-time context, and termination outcome.

How to read this board
Source freshness: these entries were checked against official firm help-center or rules pages on July 4, 2026 Pacific time unless a row shows a dated source or effective date. This is a source-check board, not live monitoring.
- Confirmed change means the checked source states a changed value, effective date, offer window, or old/current split.
- Clarification means the official source supports the current rule label, but this pass did not prove an old value changed.
- Checked date is when BestProps captured the official source. Help-center pages can change after that.
- Source gap rows are omitted from the board. Social posts and forum chatter were not used as proof for these entries.
Think a row is stale or missing context? Send the official firm source URL and the exact rule text to BestProps so the next RuleWatch pass can re-check it.
