Topstep Labs adds Undead and Slasher
Topstep edited the Labs help article. On this fetch it prints Updated today. Schema dateModified is 15 October 2026, 14:00 UTC. The drop table now lists #008, Return of the $3K Undead Challenge, and #009, Revenge of the $3K Slasher Challenge. The 15 October post is the public write-up. Yesterday’s check still had no #008.
Both cards are two rounds, both rounds start at $0, and neither becomes a Live Funded Account. Pass the first $3,000 target, activate a separate Payout Round, hit $3,000 again, and the payout is a fixed $3,000. Then the account closes. There is no 90/10 split. There is no daily loss limit, no consistency target, no minimum days, and no reset. The account closes after 30 idle days or 90 days. You can hold 5 Undead and 5 Slasher. A closed account still counts. An older $3K purchase does not.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
| — | Undead #008 | Slasher #009 | Powered Up #007 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee | $199 once | $65 once | $99 once |
| Targets | $3,000 then $3,000 | $3,000 then $3,000 | $1,500 then $1,500 |
| Payout | $3,000 once | $3,000 once | $1,500 once |
| Static max loss | $1,000 | $500 | $500 |
| Max size | 5 minis / 50 micros | 2 minis / 20 micros | 2 minis / 20 micros |
| Daily loss | None | None | None |
The blog adds “+ tax” on both new fees. The parameter table prints $199 and $65 as the one-time price. Read the cart. Labs $50K Static stays $149. Standard Path $50K stays $49 a month. There is still no public coupon. The Responsible Trading dollar-off does not apply to these drops. Affiliate buttons stay on the existing Topstep link. The card checkout is the Labs page.
The help FAQ also prints product caps that sit under the headline size:
| Cap | Undead | Slasher |
|---|---|---|
| MCL / MGC | 31 | 12 |
| CL, GC, HO, QM, RB | 3 | 1, and the same 1 on MHG and SIL |
| MHG / SIL | 2 | Included in the 1-lot line above |
| HG, PL, SI | 0 | 0 |
| Tier 1 micros | 3 | 1 |
The Tier 1 micro list is MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, M6A, M6B, M6E, MNG, MCL, MGC, MBT, MET, MHG, and SIL.
Why this matters on a news print
The static loss is the whole cushion, because both rounds start at $0. A $1,000 hit ends Undead. A $500 hit ends Slasher. During a Tier 1 release the micro cap is 3 on Undead and 1 on Slasher, which is tighter than the headline 50-micro and 20-micro lines. Size for the print, not for the quiet hour before it. The payout math is also fixed: two $3,000 targets buy one $3,000 check, then the account is gone. That is a different book from Standard Path $50K, which still trails and still aims at a funded account.
FTMO moves the daily-loss clock for one week
FTMO published a CFD trading update on 15 October 2026, 09:06 UTC (dateModified 15 October 2026, 10:54 UTC). The homepage dateModified is now 15 October 2026, 12:59 UTC. It was 12 October on the prior check. The fee ladder did not move with that timestamp.
Saturday 17 October, MetaTrader time (GMT+3):
| Window | Platforms | What stops |
|---|---|---|
| 03:00–05:00 | MT4, MT5, TradingView, cTrader | Trading disabled. Access may be fully restricted. |
| 08:00–12:00 | Same four | Same. |
The futures update the same day is in Eastern Time. Friday 16 October, 18:00–19:30 ET: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView. FTMO says that window is outside trading hours. Access is still unavailable. Account creation pauses. Evaluation starts, resets, and live transitions are on hold.
The rule that can change a P&L is the daylight-saving note. From 26 October through 1 November 2026, European stock and index hours on MT4 and MT5 shift one hour later. AIRF is the example: 11:05–19:30 instead of 10:05–18:30. The listed symbols are SPN35.cash, EU50.cash, FRA40.cash, N25.cash, COCOA.c, COFFEE.c, SUGAR.c, ADSGn, AIRF, ALVG, BAYGn, BMW, DBKGn, IBE, LVMH, MBG, SAN, SIEGn, TTE, and VOWG_p. Hours revert on 2 November, after the US change on 1 November.
Max Daily Loss still resets at Prague midnight. During that week the gap versus MetaTrader midnight is 2 hours, not the usual 1 hour. FTMO points traders at Account MetriX: hover Today’s permitted loss for the countdown.
How this hits a hold into the reset
The 3% and 5% daily figures did not change. What changed is which clock closes the day. A position that still looks like “tomorrow” on the platform can already sit inside today’s Prague loss. If you are short a European index into the Sunday open that week, check the tooltip before you add size. The comparison table is still dateModified 9 October 2026. Trading Objectives is still dateModified 12 October 2026, 13:25 UTC. New 1-Step orders still use Consistency at 50% of total profit. The homepage is still 20% off the $100K 1-Step only. List price stays €499. There is still no coupon box. Instant $5K stays €169. The pricing object on this fetch still prints Instant at €169 / €339 / €749 / €1,499 / €2,999.
FundedNext reprints Quick Strike on Stellar Lite
FundedNext touched the Stellar Lite account article. It prints Updated today. Schema dateModified is 15 October 2026, 09:52 UTC. The 14 October note had 13 October 2026, 08:09 UTC.
The day count did not move again. Purchases and resets on or after 12 October 2026 still need 2 calendar days per phase and a 10-business-day cycle at 80%. Older Lite orders stay at 5 days, then 21 and 14. Daily loss stays 4%. Maximum loss stays 8%. Targets stay 8% then 4%. The approximate fee list is still $32.99, $59.99, $139.99, $229.99, $399.99, $798.99. Stored rows were not rewritten. Lite 5K stays $24.74 in the comparator.
The pass table now also prints Quick Strike below 30% at all times. FundedNext defines that as a position closed within 30 seconds. The percentage is profitable Quick Strike profit divided by total recorded profit, counted per cycle. The parameter article is still dateModified 2 July 2026. This is a line added to the Lite pass table, not a new threshold. On a challenge, 20% is a warning and 30% pauses advancement until the share falls back under 30%. The account stays open.
STRTN is unchanged. That article is still dateModified 12 October 2026, 07:00 UTC. Lite 5K with the code is still $29.99. Do not stack it with partner FINDBESTPR at 7%.
A 30-second close is the whole definition. A news spike you flatten inside half a minute counts toward the 30% if it was profitable. A losing scratch inside 30 seconds does not, because the percentage uses profitable Quick Strike trades only. The 2-day minimum does not waive that share.
