Verified months: Jan 2026, Feb 2026, Mar 2026, Apr 2026, May 2026, Jun 2026, Aug 2026, Oct 2026. Sep 2026 is shown as “No change” based on the verified months before and after. Other months are unverified.
News-trading restriction: Pro 8%/10% changes from two minutes before and after an event to five minutes before and after it, aligning Pro, One, Three and Direct.
The existing ban on trading around news widened from 2 minutes to 5 minutes. It applies only to certain models and time windows, but it is a real trading restriction.

VPN/VPS: the text now expressly says that use without prior disclosure may lead to account closure and a permanent ban.
The penalties for violations were written out and strengthened. The prior-disclosure requirement is unchanged, and it is not confirmed whether the rule itself changed.

Same IP address: ‘one household, one IP’ changes to allow different family members to share a household IP address.
Family members can now hold accounts. We have found nothing that disadvantages users.

In the official help article on its policy against gambling-style trading, “Direct” was added to the models where short trades opened just before and closed just after a news restriction window count as gambling (Pro/One/Three → Pro/One/Three/Direct). If judged as gambling, profits may be voided and the contract terminated or the account closed.
Direct is now explicitly included in the cases where profits can be voided. Whether it applies to existing accounts is unknown, so it is rated C.

Risk categories: Standard Risk Group is removed and Focused Trader Group is introduced.
We could only confirm a change of name or category and could not compare the actual old and new conditions, so no severity is assigned.

Terms: the $2 million scaling cap is now expressly stated as $2 million across all scaled accounts combined.
The earlier text can also be read as USD 2 million across all Alpha Accounts, so it is not confirmed whether this narrowed from a per-account to a cumulative limit. No severity is assigned.

Qualified accounts: a maximum per-instrument risk (floating loss) rule is introduced: 3% for $5K, 2% for $50K and above, and 1% for Alpha Direct; it applies to purchases from 21 July onward.
Qualified accounts gained a per-instrument floating-loss limit, which effectively adds a disqualification condition. It applies only to new purchases and was announced.

Allocation cap: the text adds that a breach can close all accounts, and that an account may be refunded instead of funded if passing it would bring the combined allocation above $400K.
You may not receive a funded account even after passing

Expert advisors: generally permitted on MT5 before; now limited to risk-management and trading-assistance tools.
EAs that could be used before are now limited to assisting roles, and EAs that place orders on their own are banned. This restriction strongly affects trading methods. Whether it was announced and whether it applies to existing accounts is unknown.

Prohibited strategies
Wider forfeiture scope and delayed payouts
The amount removed depends on the type of breach; this does not mean that every breach necessarily removes all profits.
