A rule summary from 2024 can remain useful as a historical record while no longer describing an account sold today. Check the plan name, purchase date, account phase and agreement version before applying it.
Four changes or distinctions to recheck
| Provider | Documented change / distinction | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Apex | Previous products were retired from sale on 1 March 2026; existing accounts retain Legacy terms. | Whether the account is Legacy, EOD or Intraday. Official Legacy overview. |
| FTMO | The provider introduced a distinct 1-Step product with a different overall loss mechanism. | The exact product and its daily limit, loss-floor reference and Best Day condition. Official product announcement. |
| AquaFunded | Its One Step Flex page distinguishes purchases before and from 31 August 2026: earlier 10% and new 12% static overall limits. | Purchase date and model, rather than substituting the latest rule for an older account. Official Flex rules. |
| FundedNext | Its daily-loss FAQ says Express and Evaluation were no longer offered to new clients from 18 March 2025, while existing clients kept access. | Whether the account is a legacy product or a current Stellar variant. Official daily-loss FAQ. |
Resolve discrepancies before relying on a formula
A current documentation page can contain a configurable preset, an old numerical example or a description that differs from another page. Do not silently combine those into a new rule.
E8 is a useful research example: its One product page and custom-account page show different preset percentages. Record the checkout configuration and request a written explanation of the rule applicable to your account. This discrepancy is a reason for clarification, not proof of misconduct or failure.
A record that survives future changes
- Identify the counterparty. Record the company named in the agreement, not just a brand or affiliate link.
- Identify the account. Full plan name, size, phase, purchase date and selected options.
- Save evidence. Agreement version, official rule URLs, review date and the purchased configuration.
- Calculate both limits. Overall and daily floors, reset timezone, equity treatment and breach threshold.
- Recheck transitions. Passing, resetting, withdrawing and moving to another phase can change the applicable conditions.
- Keep a change log. Mark which statements are historical and which have a current provider source.
How we handle old profiles
PropRanking retains original profile URLs, reviews and comments. New source notes are additions, not deletion of earlier records. A historical closed-firm category is not, by itself, proof of present insolvency or proof that no successor exists. A domain displaying a new offer does not establish continuity of the legal entity or old customer obligations.
For brands whose current official terms could not be verified, the profile should state that limitation. We do not invent a new price or declare a firm operational from a third-party ranking alone. See the editorial policy and historical closure directory.
Frequently asked questions
Should an old indexed profile be deleted when the rules change?
No. Retain its address and historical material, then add a dated correction or source note that explains what changed.
Does the newest FAQ automatically override my agreement?
This cannot be assumed. Check the agreement version, purchase date and provider’s stated transition rules.
How can I report a correction?
Provide the profile URL, the specific statement, an official dated source and the effective date through our contact page. A correction does not require buying advertising.
