Prop Firm Stability Tracker
What This Page Is
Prop firms shut down. They freeze payouts, rewrite rules mid-account, and sometimes close with trader balances still inside. That is the reality of this industry, and traders deserve a tracked record of it with dates and sources instead of rumor. This page is that record. Every firm we cover sits on the risk board below with its current status and the evidence behind it, and firm events are logged as they happen. Affiliate relationships never change what shows up here. A firm we may earn from gets flagged exactly the same as one we do not, because a stability record that hides bad news is worthless.

Current Risk Board
Every firm we track, grouped by status, with the dated flag behind each listing. A flag states what happened and links its source. Where the evidence is a community report rather than a confirmed firm action, it is labeled as a report, not stated as fact.
At-Risk
A dated, sourced stability signal exists, a payout slowdown, a sudden rule change, a purchase freeze, mass account closures, or a credible shutdown concern. The listing states the evidence. At-risk is not a shutdown call; it means watch this one.
TickTick Trader
The public site has shown "Coming soon" on every program card and checkout button since at least May 24, 2026 (first observed by TradingFunder, confirmed first-hand by us on July 3, 2026), a freeze of six weeks or more with nothing purchasable. Over the same broad period its Trustpilot score fell from 4.4 in April 2025 to 3.5 on a 6,000-plus review base, and recent reviews carry a cluster of payment-delay complaints. The counterweight is real: the help center is still up, the firm still replies to reviews, and the frozen site is a Framer rebuild, which is also consistent with a relaunch in progress. This is not a confirmed shutdown. It is a firm whose purchase surface has been dark for over a month, which is why it sits here and not on the active board.

How to Protect Yourself
The single best defense is not picking the one perfect firm, it is not depending on any one firm. Spread funded accounts across more than one firm so a single freeze or closure does not take your whole income with it. Watch the warning signs that tend to come before trouble: payouts that start arriving slower than the stated schedule, rules that change without notice, discount pushes that feel unusually aggressive, and support that goes quiet. Before you pay for any evaluation, check the firm's track record and how long it has actually operated. New is not the same as bad, but a firm with years of on-time payouts behind it carries a risk a two-month-old brand cannot match yet. If you are still working out how any of this fits together, the guide on what a prop firm is walks the whole arrangement.
How We Track This
A flag is a dated, sourced event, not an opinion. The event types we log are payout freezes and slowdowns, sudden or retroactive rule changes, purchase freezes, mass account closures, acquisitions, and credible shutdown reports. Each carries a date and a source link.
Firms are grouped into five editorial categories. Active is normal operation. At-risk means a dated stability signal exists. Merged but live means the firm was acquired but still runs as its own brand. Paused and returned means a firm halted operations and later resumed, which is logged because the pause is a data point even after the return. Shutdown means the firm has closed.
Two sourcing rules keep this honest. The live surface governs: what a firm's own checkout and pages show right now outranks older cached claims. And community reports are labeled as reports, never promoted to confirmed fact unless the firm's own actions or a solid source confirm them. A firm is only listed as shutdown when it is actually shut down, not when traders fear it might be.
The commitment underneath all of this: a firm's affiliate status never suppresses a flag, and it never softens one. The record is the same whether we earn from the firm or not.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Prop Firms Really Shut Down?
Yes. It happens across this industry, sometimes with trader balances unpaid. That is the entire reason this page exists. The risk board above shows where each firm we track currently stands.
How Do I Know if a Prop Firm Is Shutting Down?
You usually cannot know for certain in advance, which is why the warning signs matter more than any single rumor. Slower payouts, rule changes without notice, and support going dark are the patterns that tend to show up first. Any firm carrying those signals sits on the at-risk board here with its dated evidence.
Which Prop Firm Is the Oldest?
Firm age is one of the better stability signals, because a long record of on-time payouts is hard to fake. Each firm's founding date and operating history feed its Trust Score, and the review pages carry the specifics per firm.
Are Prop Firms Safe?
Some are far safer than others, and safe is really a question of track record. A firm with years of documented payouts is a different risk from a brand that launched last quarter. The point of this page is to make that difference visible instead of leaving you to guess.
