PropShopTrader Legacy Account Transition Information

This page outlines the requirements and important dates legacy traders need to understand.

As PropShopTrader transitions into its new operating environment with PropAccount and FPFX Technologies, existing legacy PropShopTrader accounts will remain supported during the transition period.

Legacy Account Support Period

Active legacy PropShopTrader accounts will remain supported through September 30, 2026.

During this period, traders may continue trading eligible legacy accounts according to the existing account rules and the additional transition requirements outlined below.

The legacy account environment will be retired following the transition period as PropShopTrader moves into its new ecosystem.

7-Day Trading Activity Requirement

Every active legacy account must have legitimate trading activity at least once within each rolling 7-day period.

This requirement applies individually to every account.

If you have multiple legacy accounts, activity on one account does not satisfy the requirement for your other accounts.

Example

If you have three active legacy accounts:

  • Account 1 must have legitimate trading activity

  • Account 2 must have legitimate trading activity

  • Account 3 must have legitimate trading activity

Each account is evaluated separately.

What Qualifies as Legitimate Trading Activity?

Trading activity must reflect a genuine trading decision and normal market participation.

Trades placed solely for the purpose of keeping an account active do not satisfy the activity requirement.

This includes intentional flip trades, where a trader quickly enters and exits a position simply to generate account activity.

Accounts found using artificial activity to bypass the inactivity requirement may be subject to failure.

Continue Following Existing Account Rules

All existing legacy account rules remain in effect throughout the transition period unless PropShopTrader communicates an update directly.

Traders remain responsible for complying with applicable:

  • Drawdown limits

  • Daily loss limits

  • Position limits

  • Trading restrictions

  • Account-specific risk parameters

  • Prohibited trading practices

The transition period does not suspend or replace existing account rules.

What Happens to Legacy Accounts After September?

The existing PropShopTrader legacy environment is being phased out as the company moves into the new PropShopTrader ecosystem.

Additional information regarding the completion of the transition and any actions required from existing traders will be communicated before the end of September.

Can I Join the New PropShopTrader Environment?

Yes.

The new PropShopTrader environment will launch with new account structures, account sizes, platforms, and trading opportunities.

Existing traders will be able to participate in the new environment separately from their legacy accounts.

Full details will be presented during the official PropShopTrader launch webinar.
