Prop firm challenge changes, with receipts.

The September 21 pricing update continues to describe Swing as available and lists its six fees. In the October 6 read-only product-selector session, the two-step account type was Pro and no Swing choice was shown.

The cost article still lists Three fees ($67-$697), while Alpha's own review and country-availability pages say Three is not currently offered for new purchases, and on 2026-10-20 and again on 2026-10-23 the live checkout catalogue had no Alpha Three items. Our Three prices are now null (last published fees kept in the product notes) until checkout offers it again.

The September 21 pricing update explicitly maps the $47–$947 ladder to One 10% and calls One 6%/12% unavailable for new purchases. On October 6, the live read-only selector nevertheless displayed selectable One 6%, 10% and 12% account types.

The September 21 pricing update lists Pro 6% 25K at $127 bi-weekly or $117 on-demand. The older firm review still quotes $197 for an unqualified Pro 25K; that amount matches the newer Pro 8%/10% bi-weekly rows, not Pro 6%.

Public homepage price blocks still show $899 (100K Ascend) and $199 (100K Break) while the terms list $780 and $200. On 20 October the store marks every homepage Ascend and Break item as not purchasable; the comparison now shows no Ascend price and keeps the purchasable Break ladder ($70/$140/$200).

The current OFP homepage selector shows one configuration at a time (on 20 October a $10,000 Instant Lite at $35 with a 1:100* leverage block), while Schedule A of the web terms and the terms PDF list Lite only at $50K-$200K with 1:30 leverage and publish no complete price ladder. The older structured prices cannot be treated as current checkout quotes until the selected model, size and total are captured together.

The general EA article includes a manual-only account-size cutoff. The Stellar Instant EA article permits conditional automation but does not repeat that cutoff or explicitly grant an exemption.

Resolved 2026-10-20: Topstep sets no stand-alone minimum-days rule ("There’s no minimum time requirement to pass"), but the 55% Consistency Target means no single day may exceed 55% of total profit, so a one-day pass is impossible and two trading days is the practical minimum ("You can pass in as few as 2 days, as long as no single day exceeds 55% of your total profit"). The two statements describe the same rule, not a conflict. The minimum-day field stays empty because no explicit minimum is stated.

Maven's Instant page and, since October, its FAQ say Instant payouts are available on demand once the 3% profit threshold and 20% consistency score are met, while the Terms still specify payouts every 10 business days.

The homepage Fast Pass cards say 3 minimum trading days, while current support (and the homepage FAQ) say there is no minimum. For the 100K funded payout cap, the homepage Funded Rules panel and the Fast Pass payout-policy article now both say $1,875, but the 'What is Fast Pass?' article still says $1,850.

Resolved 2026-10-20: the FAQ now gives both Essential (trailing) and Elite (static) a 5% Phase-1 and 8% funded maximum loss, matching the prediction-markets cards. The FAQ previously described Essential as 3% trailing and Elite as 5% static. The stored Prediction products now carry the same 5% Phase-1 and 8% funded maximum loss.

Resolved 2026-10-19: E8 One target and daily limit follow the chosen dynamic drawdown: 4% -> 6% target / 3% daily, 6% -> 9% / 4%, 8% -> 12% / 5.3%, 10% -> 15% / 6.6%, 14% -> 21% / 9.2% (configurator and E8 custom-account help table). The priced default is 6% drawdown with a 9% target and 4% daily limit. The E8 One help article's 6% / 3% / 4% figures are the 4% drawdown option, not a conflicting default.

Prices now agree: the e8markets.com/e8-pro page and the help-centre base price table (custom-account article, updated 2026-10-08) both list $32 to $2,598 for $5K-$500K, with fixed 8% target, 8% static drawdown and 2.5% daily drawdown at an 80% default payout. Still open: the same custom-account article also lists 6%, 8% or 10% static drawdown and 80% / 90% / 100% payout options for E8 Pro, which the fixed product page does not offer.
