Update from Prop Firm Match | 2 November 2026
Over the past few days, many claims have been shared about Prop Firm Match, many of them before the full facts were available. Rather than respond to each one, we want to set the record straight with the facts our review has established so far.
This first update covers the referral redirect we disabled on 29 October.
What happened
When traders clicked on firm names or “Copy Code” in certain sections of our website, the interaction also opened the relevant firm's affiliate link. We disabled this functionality on 29 October.
What we have established so far
Based on our technical review to date:
• It did not operate without a user-initiated click.
• It opened only the affiliate link of the firm selected by the trader.
• It did not involve hidden iframes or invisible pixels.
• It operated within PFM's own website code and was not deployed on partner websites or through PFM badges or widgets on third-party sites.
• It did not change the prices traders paid or discounts they received.
• If a trader later clicked another affiliate’s link or used that affiliate’s code, under most of the attribution models reviewed, the sale would be credited to the last click or code used.
The potential impact
Our early, modelled estimate indicates that the potential impact on referral attribution represents a low single-digit percentage of the commissions Prop Firm Match earned, varying from partner to partner.
These are preliminary findings, not final figures. For each firm that takes part, we will review the findings individually to assess any potential impact specific to that firm.
What we're doing
We are inviting every firm we have worked with, both current and former partners, to review our findings against their own records.
Prop Firm Match continues to operate as normal. We encourage everyone to rely on verified information as our review continues.
