👀 PrimePoint’s Big Twist, FTMO Backlash, Propel’s Exit

🚨Another round, another twist in the prop game. Your weekly dose is here.

We’re in peak plot twist season, and this week’s headlines did not disappoint.

A new firm wants you to pay after you’re funded.
FTMO got called out again. And Propel Capital? They’re out entirely.

Here’s what just rocked the timeline, and what it means for your next challenge 👇

🆕 PrimePoint Traders Wants You to Pay After You’re Funded

Yep, you read that right.
A new firm called PrimePoint Traders is gearing up to launch with a bold twist — no upfront fee. You pass the challenge, then you pay.

This flips the industry model on its head, especially for traders tired of paying $300+ just to risk failing at Phase 2.

No word yet on profit split, payout speed, or platform.
But if the launch holds up, this could seriously shake the table.

⚠️ FTMO Catches Heat Again — This Time for... Selective Rule Enforcement?

A viral post from trader Salman Munir called out FTMO for banning some traders over 1% drawdown breaches, while others seem to exploit loopholes through multi-position hedging.

ZamcoCapital chimed in with a defensive take, explaining FTMO’s internal rule that prevents same-direction orders unless previous ones are closed or hit SL.

Still, many traders in the thread aren’t buying the explanation. The usual debate: Is it smart risk management, or rule gymnastics?

💸 Funding Pips Spotlights Trader Who Made $114K After $1 Meals

The grind is real, and so is Pushpak’s $114,000 reward. Funding Pips shared his story, highlighting a 21-year-old trader who went from $1 meals to top-funded status.

His story isn’t just about profits; it’s about sacrifice, obsession, and unlocking freedom through skill.

🏁 Propel Capital Closes Doors After 14 Months

After just over a year in the space, Propel Capital has decided to exit. In a formal letter, CEO Mitchell Ali pointed to unsustainable competition and a refusal to compromise the firm’s values.

They didn’t want to keep up with "higher discounts and relaxed rules," and instead chose to bow out rather than break even at a loss. 

Refunds and final updates are coming soon. Some saw it coming. Others didn’t. Either way, another name exits the scoreboard.
