Prop firm news
The latest from the prop trading world — rule changes, new firms, payouts, and industry updates.
Rule changeProp firms ban gold trading as rally strains payout budgets
Rising gold prices are forcing some prop firms to remove XAU from tradable instruments. Firms that scaled on challenge fees now struggle to honor payouts when traders profit from historic gold moves. This highlights sustainability concerns in the prop-firm business model.
PayoutThe Funded Trader halts payouts for internal audit
The Funded Trader suspended all withdrawals citing a self-imposed audit to ensure payouts comply with rules. Trustpilot complaints and social-media reports of payout denials triggered the move. Traders awaiting withdrawals face indefinite delays pending review completion.
PayoutThe Funded Trader paid $386K in March but owes traders 3x more
The Funded Trader disbursed $386,000 in March payouts yet remains behind on arrears. Some traders accepted settlements at 10-30% of owed amounts totaling $250,000. Rising revenue is helping the firm catch up, but full resolution remains unclear.
Rule changeProp firms tighten news-trading rules to curb high-impact event abuse
Multiple firms are restricting profit from trades opened in a 12-minute window around major news releases. Positions opened before the event and closed during the window remain valid. Scalpers and news traders must adjust strategies or risk profit disqualification.
MarketsOil market questions longevity of Trump sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil
Crude prices initially spiked when Trump sanctioned Russia's top producers Rosneft and Lukoil but leveled off as traders questioned enforcement durability and actual supply impact.

MarketsEnergy stocks surge on Iran war oil boom; Exxon profits double, Chevron up 400%
ExxonMobil profits doubled to $14.5B and Chevron net income jumped nearly 400% on war-driven oil prices. US crude averaged over $92 in Q2, up 27% quarterly. Defence and energy indices outperformed broader markets while gold rallied on safe-haven demand. Further conflict could sustain crude strength but crowded positioning risks sell-the-news reversals.
GeopoliticsOil surges above $100 on Iran war escalation; stocks hit all-time highs despite conflict
Brent crude broke $100/barrel after 12 nights of US strikes on Iran and a tanker attack off Saudi Arabia. The S&P 500 reached new all-time highs even as oil prices surged over 50% since the Feb 28 conflict start. Traders initially ignored war risks but began reassessing as crude stayed elevated, threatening inflation and recession odds.

FXIFY celebrated its third anniversary with $40 million in total payouts and a $3 million giveaway promotion. The firm was recently named Best Broker-Backed Prop Firm 2025 at the FundedTrading Awards. FXIFY positions itself as built around trader success rather than challenge fee collection.

WarningProp firm SurgeTrader shuts down after Match-Trader terminates license
