Prop Firm Status Tracker

Prop firms and broker run prop programs close, change hands and move their clients to other firms. Each entry below records a confirmed change, the date it was confirmed and the source it came from. A change is listed only when it can be confirmed from the firm’s own announcement, its website or its Trustpilot page. Entries were last checked on 28 September 2026.

OANDA Prop Trader: moved to FTMO Group

OANDA Prop Trader was OANDA’s evaluation program, run by OANDA Assessments Ltd in Valletta, Malta. On 2 March 2026, OANDA announced that the business was moving to FTMO Group following FTMO’s acquisition of OANDA. Client migration started on 2 March 2026 and the transition ended on 31 March 2026. Clients who moved to FTMO were offered migration incentives, and refunds were available where applicable for those who did not move. The program’s website, proptrader.oanda.com, now redirects to ftmo.com, which was confirmed on 28 September 2026.

Vantage Elite Trader: program closed

Vantage Markets ran a prop challenge called Vantage Elite Trader on elite.vantagemarkets.com. On 28 September 2026 that domain no longer resolved, and Trustpilot’s page for the program stated that reviews could no longer be left because the company’s website had closed. The most recent review on that page is dated 12 December 2024. No prop or funded program is offered on the Vantage Markets website. No official closure announcement from Vantage was found, so the exact closure date is not confirmed.

Warning signs to check

None of the following proves that a firm is in trouble, but each is a reason to check its status before buying a challenge or trading further.

• Slower or smaller payouts. Longer processing times, new payout caps, or payouts refused on unclear grounds.
• Rule changes applied to existing accounts. New restrictions that affect accounts already bought, especially close to a payout.
• Payment and platform changes. A sudden switch of payment processor, the loss of card payments, or a forced move to a different platform.
• Constant heavy discounting. Deep discounts running for weeks at a time alongside complaints about payouts.
• Silence from support. Slow replies, closed chat channels or a help centre that stops being updated.
• Website and review changes. A domain that stops loading, or a Trustpilot page that withholds a rating or stops accepting reviews.

If your firm closes

• Save copies of your account dashboard, trade history, payout requests and emails.
• Read any closure notice for refund or migration terms and the deadline to claim them.
• Make requests in writing and keep the replies.
• If you paid by card and no refund is offered, ask your card provider about a dispute. Card schemes set time limits for disputes, so act promptly.
