Prop Firm Payouts: Are the withdrawal terms shifting?
Noticing a subtle but consistent trend among a few of the more established prop firms lately. It seems like the payout processing times are creeping up, and in some cases, the minimum withdrawal thresholds are being adjusted upwards, or transaction fees are being introduced where there weren't any before. It's not a deal-breaker for smaller accounts, but for traders moving more significant sums, it adds up. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this or if it's just my experience across a specific set of firms? Are these new friction points becoming a standard practice across the industry as the space matures, or is it more indicative of individual firm liquidity management?

Yeah, I've seen that too. It's probably a response to the increased volume and lower entry costs attracting more inexperienced traders who chew through capital and admin time. They're trying to filter out the noise.
