ProjectX Ending Third-Party Prop Firm Support - Becomes Topstep Exclusive February 28

ProjectX, the trading platform used by multiple futures prop firms, is ending its services to all third-party platforms on February 28, 2026. The platform will become exclusive to Topstep.

Affected Prop Firms:

• One Top Futures
• Trading Lucid
• Tradify
• Blue Guardian Futures
• Tick Tok Trader
• Other platforms using ProjectX infrastructure

Official Statement:

"After careful consideration, we've made the decision to wind down our ProjectX third-party service offering. Shifts in operational demands and upcoming compliance reporting, oversight, and audit requirements have made continuing third-party support no longer sustainable."

What This Means for Traders:

If you're trading with any of the affected firms, expect platform migrations in the coming weeks. One Top Futures acknowledged the transition was "unexpected across the sector" but noted the timeline should be sufficient for migration without disruption.

This follows Plus500's appointment as Topstep's trading technology provider -- Plus500 also serves as ProjectX's exchange partner. The move consolidates Topstep's position in the futures prop firm space.

The broader context: MetaQuotes' 2024 crackdown already forced many prop firms to suspend operations for US-based traders. Now the tech provider consolidation adds another challenge for smaller prop firms trying to compete.

Bottom line: If you're evaluating prop firms, factor in their technology infrastructure stability when making decisions.
