What are prop firm rule changes?

Edits a prop firm makes to its own published terms: drawdown and daily loss limits, consistency rules, profit targets, profit splits, news-trading restrictions, minimum trading days, prices and payout conditions. Most are made quietly on a pricing or help center page that only ever shows the current version.

How do I check whether a prop firm changed its rules?

Filter this changelog by firm. Every entry shows the date the change was detected, the wording before and after, and a link to the firm's own page so you can check it yourself. Fine Print has published 394 changes across 44 prop firms since August 19, 2026.

Which prop firms does Fine Print track?

44 prop firms across forex, futures and perpetuals. For each one we monitor the public pricing, account, rules and help center pages.

How quickly do new changes show up?

Every monitored page is checked daily. A change is published once a person has reviewed it, so nothing goes live on detection alone.

Do rule changes apply to accounts I already bought?

It depends on the firm and the wording. Some changes only cover new purchases: Blue Guardian's lower 9% profit target applies to accounts bought from August 20, 2026, and older accounts keep 10%. Others apply to everyone right away. Fine Print keeps the firm's full sentence, including any cut-off date.

Why isn't a change I saw on Discord or X listed?

Fine Print only records what a firm publishes on its own website. Announcements made on Discord, social media or by email show up here once the firm updates its site.

Yes. The five newest changes are open to everyone. A free Capital Critic account opens the full history, the market, firm and topic filters, and optional email alerts. We send one digest only when a matching change has been reviewed and published. There is no paid version.

Fine Print

Prop firm rules, prices and account terms. Tracked daily.

Human-approved pricing, account configuration, FAQ and trading-rule changes, with the exact changed text preserved.

How does Capital Critic track prop firm rule changes?

Fine Print is a changelog of the terms prop firms publish and then revise. Every firm we monitor has its public pages — pricing, account specifications, trading rules and help-centre answers — re-crawled daily and stored as an immutable version. When a page changes, the new version is compared against the previous one and the changed text is extracted.

A change is only published after a person reviews it. Detection decides what to look at; a human decides what is worth telling traders and writes the summary line. Page moves, retitles and marketing copy are recorded but never published.

Every published entry keeps the exact wording from before and after the change, the date it was detected, and a link to the firm's own page. Capital Critic monitors 44 prop firms and has published 394 changes since August 19, 2026.

E8 Futures changes the E8 Zero drawdown model

E8 Zero evaluations now use dynamic drawdown from the highest end-of-day balance, locking at the starting balance, instead of a hard-breach model based on the initial balance.
