Sure Leverage Funding’s ‘2 Step Challenge – FAQ & Rules’ article no longer reads ‘News trading is allowed at all times.’ It now reads ‘News trading is not allowed.’ and ‘Please ensure trades are not open or closed 5 minutes before, or after red folder news events, if they are, profits will be deducted at payout. Effective as of 29/09/2026’. Our saved copy of 12 September 2026 has the first wording, and our copy of 29 September 2026 has the second.

10FOUR's product catalog no longer lists TradingView or CQG Desktop as trading platforms; it now lists Tradara only. Our 2026-09-12 read of the catalog listed TradingView and CQG Desktop; the 2026-09-16 read lists Tradara.

Funded Futures Family now applies a 40% consistency rule to Premier+ funded accounts bought on or after 9 September 2026: no single trading day may account for more than 40% of total realized profit. The Premier+ evaluation still has no consistency rule.

Topstep raised the Trading Combine consistency target from 50% to 55% of the profit target and removed the undisclosed buffer that had applied to the old 50% figure, stating that 55% is a hard limit with no rounding.

FundingPips removed positions merely held through the restricted window from its Master Account high-impact news rule, so their profits are no longer exposed to deduction.

Blue Guardian withdrew its 24-Hour Payout Guarantee. Payouts are still described as processed within 24 business hours, but the additional 10% profit share previously owed to a trader when that timeframe was missed is no longer published.

Blue Guardian bars news trading outright on Instant Standard accounts purchased from 13 November 2025. The five-minute red-folder window still printed above it on the same article governs only accounts bought before that date.

Tradeify reduced the Select five-day payout caps on the three larger account sizes, from $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000 to $2,500 / $3,500 / $4,500. The $1,250 cap on the smallest size and the 50%-of-profits limit are unchanged.

Blue Guardian lowered the 2-Step Standard minimum trading-day requirement from five to three profitable days for accounts purchased from August 20, 2026.

Blue Guardian lowered the 1-Step Standard Phase 1 profit target from 10% to 9% for accounts purchased from August 20, 2026.

Official Builder page now lists only $25K and $50K accounts; it documents a $1,000 soft daily pause on 50K, 50% payout-stage consistency, and a five-payout path to live capital.

Topstep Labs help article lists the August 2026 $3K Challenge as Drop #003: a $49 one-time, two-round challenge with a fixed $3,000 payout and no daily loss limit.

P1 Futures published Reserve activation at $109 and Instant profit split at 90% on its pricing page.

Bulenox updated its public account catalog to Qualification, Fast Track, and Momentum accounts across 25K-150K.
