Prop Firm News (May 3–10, 2026): MyFundedFutures & Earn2Trade Rewrite Their Rules, 4 Firms Hit Score Drops

Five firms changed their rules this week — four recorded score drops

The week of May 3–10 was busier than most. MyFundedFutures, Earn2Trade, Phoenix Trader Funding, Topstep, and PropFirmMap partner Elite Trader Funding all updated at least one of their core rules — drawdown limits, payout frequency, or profit split. Simultaneously, the PropFirmMap nightly scoring run logged score decreases at four firms. Here's what changed and what it means for your next challenge signup.

MyFundedFutures updated its drawdown rules, payout frequency structure, and profit split on May 9. The firm now operates four distinct plan tiers with different drawdown and payout treatment:

• Rapid plan: 90% profit split, daily payouts, no daily loss limit.
• Builder plan: 80% split, every 48 hours, $1,000 daily loss limit applies.
• Pro plan: 80% split, bi-weekly payouts, no daily loss limit.
• Flex plan: 80% split, weekly payouts, no daily loss limit.

All plans use end-of-day trailing drawdown. The PFM Score declined to 3.0 in the May 10 scoring run — the nightly scorer flags when rule complexity increases without a proportional TrustPilot improvement.

Earn2Trade updated its drawdown rules and payout frequency on May 9. The current drawdown structure is a flat 2.2% daily loss limit across all TCP plan sizes — a consistent, predictable rule whether you're on the $25K or $200K plan:

• TCP25 ($25K): $550 daily loss limit (2.2%)
• TCP50 ($50K): $1,100 daily loss limit (2.2%)
• TCP100 ($100K): $2,200 daily loss limit (2.2%)
• TCP200 ($200K): $4,400 daily loss limit (2.2%)

The PFM Score declined to 2.8. Earn2Trade remains an A+ firm with a strong TrustPilot base — the score dip reflects the scoring algorithm's sensitivity to payout and drawdown complexity changes.

Phoenix Trader Funding updated drawdown, payout frequency, and profit split simultaneously on May 9. The current structure offers on-demand payouts (within 48 hours) on Classic and Spark evaluations, with no daily drawdown limit on those plans. The Spark Direct $2K funded account applies a 25% dynamic drawdown. Split is 80%.

At 4.6★ across 243 reviews, Phoenix has strong reviewer sentiment for its size. The score did not drop this week — rule updates at Phoenix were neutral for the scoring algorithm.

Topstep updated its drawdown rules on May 10. The current daily loss limits are:

• $50K account: $2,000 max daily loss limit (trailing EOD)
• $100K account: $3,000 max daily loss limit (trailing EOD)
• $150K account: $4,500 max daily loss limit (trailing EOD)

Topstep's PFM Score remains at 2.4 — the lowest among the five firms updated this week. The combination of a declining TrustPilot rating and a trailing (not static) daily drawdown rule is reflected in the score. No active promo codes are currently in our database for Topstep.

Elite Trader Funding — a PropFirmMap Verified Partner — updated its drawdown rules, payout frequency, and profit split on May 8, one day ahead of the other four firms. The current structure:

• 1-Step, Static, Fast Track, and DTF plans: No daily loss limit.
• EOD and Diamond Hands plans: End-of-day realized daily drawdown applies.
• Payout: Same-day approval on funded accounts.
• Profit split: Keep up to 100% of profits depending on plan.

ETF's PFM Score declined to 2.8 in the May 9 scoring run. The score drop is notable because ETF ranks as an A-grade firm with solid TrustPilot coverage — the algorithm is penalizing rule complexity. The core offering (no daily drawdown on most plans, up to 100% split, same-day payouts) remains among the most trader-friendly structures in the market.

PropFirmMap scores are calculated nightly using a combination of safety grade (A+ to F), TrustPilot rating and review volume, challenge pricing, and operational signals. A score drop does not mean a firm is unsafe — it signals that something changed in the weighted inputs. Always check the individual firm page for the current snapshot.
