They changed the rules overnight
They changed the rules overnight. Because they are probably facing payout issues. Just take a look at ther revised policy which will come into effect within 3 days. This is not done and is proof that funding prop firms are scammy. You don't get into a contract with a trader and then change the rules on them over night and play with their psychology of trading.
