Monthly rule-change report
October 2026: closures and listing changes we recorded
14 closures or sites offline ยท 3 firms selling again ยท 3 name or website changes ยท 76 firms added
This is our first monthly report. It covers what we recorded between 1 and 12 October 2026, while we re-checked every firm on the site against its own website.
It lists no price, rule or payout changes. Those need an earlier checked copy of the firm's page to compare against, and our first full set of checked copies was made this month. From 1 November 2026 we re-open every page our reviews cite, every month, and list what changed here.

Our corrections
Changes to our own reviews, ratings and data this month. The full log, with every date, is on our corrections page.
- 12 Oct 2026 Take Profit Trader: no longer listed as having no time limit. The only statement we found is in a promotion FAQ, so it may apply only to that promotion.
- 12 Oct 2026 Topstep: removed the '$49' starting price from our lists and comparisons. Topstep's pages advertise a $50K account 'for just $49' but list the same plan at $85โ$95 a month; until the pages agree we show the price as not confirmed.
- 12 Oct 2026 Markets added for Apex Trader Funding, FundYourFX, MFA Traders, Vanquish Trader and Wall Street Funded from their own websites, so they now appear on the matching market pages. Review pages for 25 firms that are closed, inactive or renamed now redirect to their entry in the closed and inactive firms list or to the current review.
- 12 Oct 2026 Affiliate links are now marked "Ad", and every ranked list states what it is sorted by. Reviews state whether we have a commercial relationship with the firm.
- 11 Oct 2026 22 firms added with reviews and Transparency Index scores; Vertex Funding, Telos Capital and TurboTrade.Fund removed from the closed list after we found their websites selling again. Reviews of Lark Funding, Sure Leverage Funding and My Crypto Funding rewritten from the firms' own pages.
- 11 Oct 2026 Closed and inactive firms list rebuilt: every entry now cites the firm's own statement, an official record or our dated website check. Claims we could not source were removed, and firms with no closure statement are labelled Inactive.
- 10โ11 Oct 2026 Transparency Index re-scored under standard v1.4 with evidence for every marker; all ratings now equal the Index score divided by 20. Some ratings fell as a result.
- 7โ11 Oct 2026 All reviews rewritten from each firm's own website and help centre, with every factual statement tied to a quoted page, and firm data (prices, splits, rules, markets) corrected to match those pages.
The corrections log counts 22 firms added on 11 Oct 2026. That figure includes the 3 closed firms selling again (Vertex Funding, Telos Capital and TurboTrade.Fund, listed above); the other 19 are under "Firms we started reviewing".
